Additional Notes

  • The Zotye Z500 1.5 T, introduced in 2014, carries a manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.8–2 liters, a range typical of compact manual gearboxes where the spread accounts for minor variation during drain and refill procedures.
  • Under normal use conditions, the manual transmission fluid change interval is set at 20,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • The first change only interval is shorter, at 18,000 km or 21 months, reflecting the common practice of an earlier initial drain to remove metal particles and manufacturing residues that accumulate during the gearbox break-in period.
  • The capacity figure of 1.8–2 liters remains consistent across both the normal and first change only service entries, indicating the fluid volume requirement does not differ between the initial and subsequent service fills.
