Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Leyland DAF 400 differential fluid capacity is 2,4 liters. Service intervals occur every 20000 km or 12 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Both the V400 2.5 D and V400 2.5 TD, covering model years 1989-1996, share an identical rear differential fluid capacity of 2.4 liters, indicating a common axle assembly across the naturally aspirated and turbocharged diesel variants.
  • The 2.4-liter capacity figure represents a service fill level, meaning the amount of fluid the differential housing holds under normal operating conditions rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill quantity.
  • The check interval for the rear differential fluid on both variants is set at 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, and applies specifically under normal use conditions.
  • The 12-month time-based threshold in the check interval means that even when mileage accumulation is low, the fluid condition on the Leyland DAF 400 rear differential is still subject to a calendar-based inspection cycle.
