Merlo Access platforms, MPR

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Merlo Access platforms, MPR utilize Automatic transmission fluid with a capacity of 12 liters. The service interval for fluid changes is 1500 hours. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Merlo Access platforms MPR series covers three variants across the 2008-2012 model years: the MPR 20, MPR 25, and MPR 30.
  • All three variants share an identical transmission and hydrostatic fluid capacity of 12 liters, indicating a unified drivetrain architecture across the MPR lineup for those years.
  • A 12-liter capacity for a combined transmission and hydrostatic system is a moderately large fill volume, consistent with integrated hydrostatic drive units found in aerial work platforms and telehandler-type machinery.
  • The service interval for all three variants is set at 1,500 hours under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid change schedule applies to standard operating environments rather than elevated-stress or severe-duty cycles.
  • The 1,500-hour interval is an hours-based schedule rather than a calendar or mileage-based one, which is standard practice for construction and access platform equipment where annual operating hours vary widely between users.
  • Because the MPR 20, MPR 25, and MPR 30 all carry the same 12-liter capacity and 1,500-hour change interval, a single fluid specification and service procedure applies uniformly across the entire MPR range for the 2008-2012 period.
