Renault Fluence, L38 (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Renault Fluence, L38 (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,7 to 6 liters. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
Fluence 1.5 dCi 110 DPF (2010-2016)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 1,7 liter
  • Code: DC4 6/1
Fluence 1.6 16V K4M (2010-2016)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 6 liter (Dry fill)
  • Capacity 3,5 liter (Service fill)
  • Code: DP0 4/1

Additional Notes

  • The Fluence 1.6 16V K4M carries a dry fill capacity of 6 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or newly assembled transmission with no residual fluid present in the torque converter or cooler lines.
  • A service fill of 3.5 liters is specified for the Fluence 1.6 16V K4M, reflecting the partial volume exchanged during a routine fluid change where the torque converter and some internal passages retain fluid.
  • The difference between the 6-liter dry fill and the 3.5-liter service fill on the 1.6 16V K4M transaxle indicates that roughly 2.5 liters remain in the system during a standard drain-and-refill procedure.
  • The Renault Fluence 1.5 dCi 110 DPF uses a semi-automatic transaxle with a single listed capacity of 1.7 liters, a notably lower figure consistent with the reduced fluid volume typical of semi-automatic units compared to conventional fully automatic transmissions.
  • Both configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the listed capacities and any associated service parameters apply to standard operating conditions rather than severe or first-change-only scenarios.
  • The 1.5 dCi 110 DPF and 1.6 16V K4M variants share the same 2010-2016 model year span yet differ substantially in transmission type and fluid capacity, with the diesel semi-automatic holding less than one-third of the automatic unit's dry fill volume.
