Citroën C35

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Citroën C35 manual transmission fluid capacity is 2 liters. Service intervals include checking at 7500 km and 10000 km, and changing at 40000 km and 45000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
C 35 RD (1985-1990)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2 liter
  • Check 7500 km
  • Change 45000 km
  • Code: 5/1
C 35 RE (1985-1990)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2 liter
  • Check 10000 km
  • Change 40000 km
  • Code: 5/1

Additional Notes

  • Both the C 35 RD and C 35 RE carry a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2 liters, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul quantity, meaning the gearbox and final drive share a single housing filled to that level during routine maintenance.
  • The C 35 RD transaxle is checked at 7,500 km intervals under normal use conditions, while the C 35 RE transaxle is checked at 10,000 km intervals under the same conditions, a difference of 2,500 km between the two configurations.
  • The Citroën C 35 RD carries a fluid change interval of 45,000 km under normal use, which is 5,000 km longer than the 40,000 km change interval specified for the C 35 RE.
  • The check and change intervals for both configurations are designated for normal use conditions, meaning neither row accounts for more demanding operating environments that would typically shorten service intervals in other specifications.
  • Despite the difference in check and change intervals between the RD and RE variants, the shared 2-liter capacity across both configurations indicates the transaxle housing volume is identical regardless of the mechanical differences between the two engine or drivetrain variants.
