Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Porsche Carrera GT, 980 (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2,3 to 4 liters. Service intervals occur every 180000 km or 120 months. The data covers 1 configuration.

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

TypeSpecifications

  • Code: 6/1

Additional Notes

  • The Porsche Carrera GT, 980 (EU) transaxle carries a standard service fill capacity of 2.3 liters, which represents the fluid volume required for a routine drain-and-fill without disturbing the oil cooler circuit.
  • When the oil cooler is included in the fluid exchange, the total capacity rises to 4 liters, reflecting the additional volume held within the cooler and its associated lines.
  • The difference between the 2.3-liter and 4-liter figures is substantial, meaning a service performed without accounting for the oil cooler would leave the system significantly underfilled if a full cooler flush were intended.
  • The specified change interval for normal use conditions is 180,000 km or 120 months, whichever comes first, placing the time-based limit at a full decade between fluid changes.
  • A 120-month interval is notably long by general manual transmission service standards, and the 180,000 km distance threshold aligns with that extended timeline under normal operating conditions.
  • The single row covering model years 2003-2006 indicates no variation in manual transmission fluid capacity or change interval across the full production span of the Carrera GT, 980 (EU).
