Reliant Robin

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Reliant Robin manual transmission fluid capacity is 0,64 liter. Service intervals include checking at 5000 km and 10000 km, and changing at 1000 km, 1500 km, and 20000 km. The data covers 8 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Reliant Robin manual transmission holds 0.64 liter across all four configurations covered by the specifications, meaning the service fill capacity is identical whether the vehicle is a standard body or a Van variant.
  • The 750 and 850 engine variants share the same 20,000 km fluid change interval under normal use conditions, and both also carry the same 0.64 liter capacity, indicating the transmission unit itself did not change between the two engine generations.
  • An initial service drain is specified for the Robin 750 (1972-1975) at 1,000 km, which is a break-in interval designed to remove metal particles generated during the early wear-in period of new transmission components.
  • The Robin 850 (1975-1981) initial service change interval is set at 1,500 km, which is 500 km later than the 1,000 km interval specified for the Robin 750 (1972-1975).
  • Under normal use, the Robin 750 (1972-1975) specifies a fluid level check every 5,000 km, while the Robin 850 (1975-1981) doubles that interval to a check every 10,000 km.
  • The Van variants in both the 750 and 850 generations carry identical check and change intervals to their standard counterparts, with no separate severe-use or load-adjusted intervals listed in the specifications.
  • The 0.64 liter capacity is a relatively small fill volume, consistent with the compact, lightweight transmission design suited to a three-wheeled vehicle of the Robin's class.
