Eagle Tugs Air cargo tractors

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Eagle Tugs air cargo tractors utilize automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 3,8 to 8,05 liters. Service intervals include checking every 8 hours and changing every 500 hours. The data covers 1 configuration.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Eagle Tugs USATS Air cargo tractor carries 3.8 liters of automatic transmission fluid for a standard service fill, which reflects the fluid volume held within the transmission housing alone under normal operating conditions.
  • When the torque converter is included in the fill, the total automatic transmission fluid capacity rises to 8.05 liters, a figure associated with overhaul or full drain procedures where the converter is emptied along with the transmission.
  • The difference between the 3.8-liter and 8.05-liter figures, roughly 4.25 liters, represents the volume retained in the torque converter during a typical service drain, which does not fully evacuate that component.
  • The fluid level check interval for the USATS powershift transmission is set at every 8 hours of operation under normal use conditions, a frequency consistent with heavy-duty equipment that runs in continuous or high-cycle environments.
  • The fluid change interval is specified at 500 hours under normal use conditions, meaning the full drain and refill of the transmission is performed after that accumulated operating time rather than on a calendar basis.
