Daihatsu Hi Jet

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Daihatsu Hi Jet differential fluid capacity ranges from 0,6 to 1,2 liters. Service intervals include checking at 10000 km or 6 months and changing at 40000 km or 24 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Daihatsu Hi Jet rear differential fluid capacity doubles from 0.6 liter in the 1984-1992 generation to 1.2 liters in the 1993-1996 Van and Pick up, reflecting a larger differential housing in the later body style.
  • The 1993-1996 Van and Pick up rear differential holds 1.2 liters, while the 1996-2005 variants across both the 1.2 D and 1.3 engine configurations hold 1.15 liters, a marginal reduction of 0.05 liter between those generations.
  • The 1984-1992 specification covers both 2WD and 4WD configurations under a single rear differential capacity figure of 0.6 liter, indicating the rear differential unit was shared across drivetrain variants in that generation.
  • The 1984-1992 generation carries only a kilometer-based service interval, with checks at 10,000 km and fluid changes at 40,000 km, while all 1993-2005 variants add a time-based component, requiring checks every 6 months and changes every 24 months alongside the same kilometer thresholds.
  • The 40,000 km change interval is consistent across all four configurations spanning 1984-2005, meaning the drain-and-refill frequency remained unchanged despite the generational differences in capacity and check interval structure.
  • The 10,000 km check interval also remains constant across all configurations, though from 1993 onward a 6-month time limit runs in parallel, whichever threshold is reached first would govern the service action.
  • The 1996-2005 period includes two distinct engine variants, the 1.2 D and the 1.3, both sharing an identical rear differential capacity of 1.15 liters and identical service intervals, indicating the differential assembly was common to both engine options in that generation.
