Additional Notes

  • The Renault Modus J77 automatic transmission fluid specifications cover two distinct transmission types across the model range: a quickshift unit fitted to the 1.2 16V and 1.5 dCi engines, and a conventional automatic transaxle fitted to the 1.6 16V engine.
  • The quickshift transmission is an automated manual gearbox that uses a hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuator to handle clutch and gear changes without a torque converter, which accounts for its relatively low fluid capacity compared to a traditional automatic transaxle.
  • Both the 1.2 16V (55 kW) variants, covering 2005-2007 and 2007-2012, share an identical quickshift fluid capacity of 2.8 liters under normal use conditions.
  • The 1.5 dCi (63 kW) DPF variants, spanning 2005-2007 and 2007-2012, carry a quickshift fluid capacity of 2.5 liters under normal use conditions, which is 0.3 liters less than the petrol-engined 1.2 16V quickshift figure.
  • The lower quickshift capacity on the diesel 1.5 dCi relative to the 1.2 16V petrol may reflect differences in the internal architecture or sump design of the gearbox variants paired with each engine.
  • The 1.6 16V transaxle automatic carries a notably higher fluid capacity of 6 liters, which is consistent with a full torque-converter automatic transmission where fluid fills the torque converter housing, valve body, and transmission sump simultaneously.
  • The 6-liter figure for the 1.6 16V automatic transaxle applies equally across both the 2004-2007 and 2007-2012 production periods, indicating no change in transmission specification between those two intervals.
  • All six rows carry a normal use condition designation, meaning none of the listed capacities are associated with severe-duty or first-fill-only service scenarios.
