Lifan 720

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Lifan 720 manual transmission fluid capacity is 2-2,2 liters. Service intervals include checking every 3000 km/3 months, changing every 10000 km/9 months, and changing every 40000 km/24 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The manual transaxle capacity for both the 1.5 LF7158 and 1.8 LF7185 engine variants is listed as a range of 2 to 2.2 liters, which reflects a typical service fill tolerance rather than a fixed overhaul volume, allowing for minor variation during refill procedures.
  • Under normal use conditions, the change interval for the manual transaxle fluid is set at 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, applying equally to both the 1.5 and 1.8 engine configurations.
  • The Lifan 720 carries a separate initial service schedule for the manual transaxle, where a fluid check is due at 3,000 km or 3 months, followed by a full fluid change at 10,000 km or 9 months.
  • The initial service change interval of 10,000 km or 9 months is considerably shorter than the 40,000 km or 24-month normal interval, reflecting the common practice of flushing manufacturing residues and early wear particles from a new transmission.
  • The capacity specification of 2 to 2.2 liters remains identical across both the 1.5 LF7158 and 1.8 LF7185 variants, indicating the two engine configurations share the same manual transaxle unit in terms of fluid volume requirements.
