Shanghai Maple Automobile Hifeng

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Shanghai Maple Automobile Hifeng uses manual transmission fluid with a capacity of 2,1 liters. Service intervals include checks every 10000 km or 6 months, and changes at 5000 km or 40000 km. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Both the 1.5 and 1.8 engine variants of the Shanghai Maple Automobile Hifeng share an identical manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2.1 liters, indicating no difference in gearbox size or fill volume between the two engine configurations.
  • A 2.1-liter figure for a manual transaxle represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul or bench-rebuild quantity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the manual transaxle on both the 1.5 and 1.8 variants follows a fluid check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, alongside a full fluid change interval of 40,000 km.
  • The dual-trigger check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months means that time elapsed is treated as an equally valid service prompt as distance traveled, which is relevant for vehicles accumulating low annual mileage.
  • A separate first-change-only interval of 5,000 km is specified for both the 1.5 and 1.8 manual transaxles, applying exclusively to the initial fluid change after the unit enters service. The 2.1-liter capacity remains the same for this early drain as it does for subsequent normal-use changes.
  • The 5,000 km first-change interval is notably shorter than the 40,000 km normal change interval, reflecting the common practice of removing break-in contaminants such as metal particles generated during the initial wear-in period of new transmission components.
  • After the first-change-only service at 5,000 km, the applicable interval shifts to the normal-use schedule, placing the next fluid change at 40,000 km from that point under normal conditions.
