Samsung SM6, LFD

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Samsung SM6 and LFD models require automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 3,5 to 4,2 liters. The data covers 1 configuration.

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

TypeSpecifications
SM6 1.6 TCe (2016-2018)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 4,2 liter (Dry fill)
  • Capacity 3,5 liter (Service fill)
  • Code: DW5 7/1

Additional Notes

  • The Samsung SM6 1.6 TCe carries a dry fill capacity of 4.2 liters for its semi-automatic transaxle, a figure that applies when the unit is completely empty, such as during a full overhaul or replacement where the torque converter and all internal passages have been drained.
  • A service fill of 3.5 liters is specified for the SM6 1.6 TCe transaxle, reflecting the smaller volume needed when residual fluid remains in the converter and valve body during a routine fluid exchange.
  • The difference of 0.7 liters between the dry fill and service fill values on the SM6 1.6 TCe transaxle indicates the approximate volume of fluid retained in the system during a standard drain procedure, which is a common characteristic of semi-automatic transaxle designs.
  • Both capacity values for the SM6 1.6 TCe transaxle are tied to normal use conditions, meaning neither figure is adjusted for severe driving cycles in the available specifications.
