Renault Trafic (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Renault Trafic (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity is 2,5 liters. Service intervals include 50000 km or 50000 km/36 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Across all listed Renault Trafic (EU) configurations from 1986-1994, the automatic transmission fluid capacity is uniformly 2.5 liters, a figure consistent with the compact automatic gearboxes fitted to light commercial vans of this class and era.
  • The 2.5-liter figure represents a service fill volume, meaning the amount of fluid required during a routine drain-and-refill service rather than a full overhaul, which would typically require a higher volume to account for fluid retained in the torque converter and valve body.
  • All 1986-1989 variants across the 1.4, 1.6 4x2, 1.6 4x4, 2.0 4x2, and 2.0 4x4 engine configurations share an identical 50,000 km change interval under normal use conditions, with no time-based limit specified alongside the distance figure.
  • The 1989-1994 T 900 and T 1100 1.4 retains the same 50,000 km distance interval but adds a 36-month time limit, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would trigger a fluid change.
  • The addition of a time-based interval in the 1989-1994 specification reflects a dual-condition service approach, where calendar aging of the fluid is treated as an independent factor from mileage accumulation.
  • Despite covering both 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrain variants in the 1986-1989 range, the automatic transmission fluid capacity and change interval remain identical at 2.5 liters and 50,000 km, indicating no differentiation in the automatic gearbox specification between those two drivetrain configurations.
  • The payload designations T 800, T 1000, T 1200, T 900, and T 1100 refer to the gross vehicle weight class of each Trafic variant, and across all of these weight classes the automatic transmission fluid capacity holds at 2.5 liters throughout the 1986-1994 period.
