Bobcat Telescopic handlers

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Bobcat Telescopic handlers use automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 0,8 to 1,6 liters. Service intervals include checking every 250 hours and changing every 12 months or 750 hours. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Bobcat Telescopic handlers TL358 variants carry a hydrostatic transmission fluid capacity of 0.8 liter, which is notably smaller than the 1.6 liter capacity listed for the TL360 and TL470 models, reflecting the difference in transmission size between these handler configurations.
  • The TL358 with the Deutz TCD3.6 L4 Stage IIIB/T4i engine and the TL358 with the Perkins 1104D-44TA Stage IIIA/T3 engine share identical hydrostatic transmission fluid specifications, with a 0.8 liter capacity, a check interval at 250 hours, and a change interval set at 12 months or 750 hours, whichever comes first.
  • The 12-month or 750-hour change interval on the TL358 models applies under normal use conditions, meaning the interval is not adjusted for severe operating environments in the listed specifications.
  • A check interval of 250 hours on the TL358 models means the fluid level is to be inspected well before the full change interval of 750 hours is reached, allowing for monitoring of fluid condition and level at roughly one-third of the total service cycle.
  • The TL360 with the Perkins 1104D-44TA engine, starting from 2011, carries a 1.6 liter hydrostatic transmission fluid capacity, doubling the fill volume of the TL358 despite sharing the same Perkins engine family.
  • The TL470 with the Perkins 1104D-44TA Stage IIIA/Tier 3 engine, starting from 2011, and the TL470 with the Deutz TCD 3.6 L4 Stage IIIB/Tier 4i engine, starting from 2012, both list a 1.6 liter hydrostatic transmission fluid capacity under normal use conditions.
  • The two TL470 configurations differ in their engine emission compliance levels, with one meeting Stage IIIA/Tier 3 standards and the other meeting the more stringent Stage IIIB/Tier 4i standards, yet both share the same 1.6 liter hydrostatic transmission fluid capacity.
