Renault Fuego (EU)
Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval
Renault Fuego (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 3 to 5 liters. Service intervals include checks every 7500 km or 6 months and changes every 30000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.
| Type | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Fuego TS, GTS (71 kW) (1980-1985) |
|
| Fuego TX, GTX (81 kW) (1980-1985) |

Additional Notes
- The Renault Fuego (EU) automatic transaxle carries an initial fill capacity of 5 liters, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume required when the unit is dry, such as during a full overhaul or replacement.
- Service fill capacity across both the TS/GTS (71 kW) and TX/GTX (81 kW) configurations is 3 liters, representing the partial volume exchanged during a routine fluid change rather than a complete drain of the transaxle.
- The 2-liter difference between the initial fill and service fill values indicates that a standard drain-and-fill procedure does not evacuate all fluid from the transaxle, as a portion remains retained within the torque converter and internal passages.
- Both the 71 kW and 81 kW variants share identical capacity figures of 5 liters initial and 3 liters service fill, meaning the power output difference between the two trims does not correspond to any variation in automatic transaxle fluid volume.
- The fluid check interval is set at 7,500 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions, pairing a distance-based threshold with a time-based one to account for vehicles that accumulate low mileage.
- The fluid change interval is specified at 30,000 km under normal use conditions, applying equally to both the TS/GTS and TX/GTX trims across the 1980-1985 model range.
- The check interval of 7,500 km falls at one-quarter of the 30,000 km change interval, meaning the fluid level would typically be inspected approximately three times between each scheduled change.
