Panhard Dyna Z

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Panhard Dyna Z manual transmission fluid capacity is 0,8 liter. Service intervals include a check every 2000 km and a change every 6000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Panhard Dyna Z uses a transaxle layout, meaning the manual transmission and final drive share a single integrated housing filled from one common fluid reservoir.
  • Both the standard Dyna Z (1954-1959) and the Dyna Z Tiger (1958-1959) share an identical transaxle fluid capacity of 0.8 liter, indicating no volumetric difference between the two configurations despite the Tiger being a distinct trim.
  • A 0.8 liter capacity is relatively modest, which is consistent with the compact, lightweight transaxle units found in small European economy cars of the 1950s.
  • The fluid check interval is set at 2000 km under normal use conditions, reflecting the shorter inspection cycles that were standard practice for vehicles of that era.
  • The fluid change interval is specified at 6000 km under normal use conditions, a figure considerably shorter than modern transmission service intervals, which commonly extend to tens of thousands of kilometers.
  • The ratio between the check interval (2000 km) and the change interval (6000 km) means the transaxle fluid level was expected to be inspected three times before each full fluid replacement was due.
