Peugeot 404

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Peugeot 404 manual transmission fluid capacity is 1,25 liters. Service intervals include checking at 3000 km and 5000 km, and changing at 6000 km, 10000 km, and 12000 km. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The manual transmission fluid capacity across all three 404 configurations is 1.25 liters, a figure that represents a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill quantity.
  • The Peugeot 404 in its standard petrol form carries the shortest fluid change interval among the three configurations, with a change specified at every 6,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • The 404 Diesel specifies a change interval of 12,000 km under normal use, which is double the interval of the standard petrol variant despite sharing the same 1.25-liter capacity.
  • The 404 Injection sits between the other two configurations for its change interval, with fluid replacement specified at 10,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • Check intervals also vary across configurations. The standard 404 calls for a fluid level check at 3,000 km, the 404 Diesel matches at 3,000 km, while the 404 Injection extends the check interval to 5,000 km.
  • All three rows carry a normal use condition designation, meaning none of the specified intervals reflect a severe-duty or reduced-interval scenario.
