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

Additional Notes

  • The Lotus Eclat manual transmission fluid capacity is 2.5 liters across both the 2.2 (1981-1982) and the Excel (1983-1992) configurations, a figure that represents a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill quantity.
  • A 10,000 km check interval applies to both the Eclat 2.2 and the Eclat Excel under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid level is inspected at that mileage point without necessarily being replaced.
  • The change interval for manual transmission fluid in both configurations is set at 20,000 km under normal use conditions, placing the drain-and-refill cycle at twice the distance of the inspection interval.
  • The 2.5-liter capacity figure is consistent between the 1981-1982 Eclat 2.2 and the 1983-1992 Eclat Excel, indicating no variation in transmission fluid volume despite the model designation change between those two production periods.
