Tata Zest
Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval
Tata Zest manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,8 to 2,2 liters. Service intervals include a change at 15000 km and a check at 75000 km. The data covers 3 configurations.

Additional Notes
- The Tata Zest 1.2T carries a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 1.8 liters, which is notably lower than the 2.2-liter capacity shared by both 1.3 SDE variants, reflecting the difference in transmission size between the petrol and diesel drivetrains.
- Both the 56 kW and 67 kW versions of the Zest 1.3 SDE share an identical manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2.2 liters, indicating the same transmission unit is used across the two diesel power outputs.
- The 1.2T manual transaxle is specified for a fluid change at 15,000 km under normal use conditions, representing a relatively short service interval that keeps the fluid refreshed on a frequent basis.
- Rather than a fluid change, the 1.3 SDE variants in both power outputs are specified for a fluid check at 75,000 km under normal use conditions, a significantly longer interval compared to the 1.2T and structured around inspection rather than replacement.
- The gap between the 15,000 km change interval on the 1.2T and the 75,000 km check interval on the 1.3 SDE variants represents a fivefold difference in service frequency across the 2014-2017 Zest lineup.
- All three configurations across the 2014-2017 model years are noted as transaxle units, meaning the manual gearbox and differential share a common fluid reservoir, which is why the stated capacity covers the entire combined assembly.
