Peugeot RCZ

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Peugeot RCZ automatic transmission fluid specifications cover a capacity of 4 to 7 liters depending on the fill type. The data includes normal use service intervals. Four configurations of the Peugeot RCZ are covered in the specifications.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Peugeot RCZ automatic transmission is configured as a transaxle unit, meaning the transmission and final drive share a common housing and fluid supply across all listed engine variants.
  • A dry fill capacity of 7 liters applies to all four configurations spanning the 1.6 THP 115 kW (5FV) and 1.6 THP 121 kW (5FM) engines across 2010-2015, reflecting the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit.
  • The service fill capacity of 4 liters is consistent across all listed configurations, representing the volume needed during a routine fluid change where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and passages.
  • The difference between the 7-liter dry fill and the 4-liter service fill indicates that approximately 3 liters of fluid is retained within the transmission assembly during a standard drain procedure, which is typical for automatic transaxle designs where the torque converter does not fully empty.
  • Both the 5FV and 5FM engine codes share identical automatic transmission fluid capacities despite differing in output, with the 5FV rated at 115 kW and the 5FM at 121 kW, suggesting the same transmission unit is paired with both engine variants.
  • All four rows carry a normal use condition, meaning the listed 4-liter service fill applies specifically to standard operating conditions rather than a separate severe-duty interval.
  • The capacity figures remain unchanged between the 2010-2011 and 2012-2015 model year groupings for both engine codes, indicating no revision to the transmission fluid specification across the mid-production period covered by the data.
