Iveco Daily 38
Differential fluid capacity & service interval
Iveco Daily 38 requires differential fluid with a capacity of 1,35 liters. Service intervals consist of 200000 km or 60 months and 350000 km or 60 months. The data covers 12 configurations.

Additional Notes
- The Iveco Daily 38 rear differential holds 1.35 liters of fluid across all listed variants, from the 38 S 12 through to the 38 S 21. A capacity in this range is consistent with a light commercial vehicle rear axle service fill, meaning the housing is drained and refilled rather than fully disassembled for an overhaul.
- Under normal use conditions, the rear differential fluid change interval across all listed Daily 38 variants is 350,000 km or 60 months, whichever comes first. The distance figure reflects an extended-life service schedule typical of modern gear oils used in light commercial vehicle axles operating under standard load and road conditions.
- Under urban use conditions, the 38 S 12, 38 S 14, 38 S 16, 38 S 18, and 38 S 21 all carry a reduced change interval of 200,000 km or 60 months. Urban operation typically involves frequent low-speed maneuvering, stop-start traffic, and higher cumulative stress on differential components relative to steady highway driving, which accounts for the shorter distance threshold.
- The 38 S 16 3.0 is the only variant in the listed specifications where the reduced 200,000 km interval is associated with a heavy duty use condition rather than urban use. The remaining variants pair the 200,000 km interval exclusively with urban conditions, making the 38 S 16 3.0 distinct in how its demanding-use category is classified.
- The time-based limit of 60 months applies equally to both the normal and reduced-interval conditions across all listed variants. Regardless of whether the distance threshold of 350,000 km or 200,000 km is reached first, the five-year ceiling remains constant, ensuring fluid age does not exceed that limit in lower-mileage applications.
- The power designations in the variant names, S 12 through S 21, refer to output ratings in tens of horsepower, yet the rear differential capacity and service intervals are identical across all of them. This uniformity suggests a shared rear axle assembly is used throughout the Daily 38 range as listed.
