Suzuki Super Carry

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Suzuki Super Carry manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1 to 1,3 liters. Service intervals include checking every 10000 km or 6 months and changing every 40000 km or 24 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Suzuki Super Carry manual transmission fluid capacity appears in two distinct values across all listed configurations: 1.0 liter and 1.3 liters. In manual transmission service, a lower fill capacity typically corresponds to a smaller or more compact gearbox unit, while a higher capacity reflects a larger housing with greater fluid volume requirements.
  • Both the 1986-1990 and 1990-1999 generations share the same two capacity figures of 1.0 liter and 1.3 liters, indicating that at least two different manual transmission variants were fitted across the full 1986-1999 production span.
  • The check interval for manual transmission fluid is set at 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. A periodic check at this frequency allows for early detection of fluid loss or contamination without requiring a full drain and refill.
  • The change interval is specified at 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions. At four times the length of the check interval, the drain-and-refill cycle is considerably less frequent than the inspection schedule, which is a common arrangement in manual transmission maintenance.
  • All four specification rows carry a normal use condition designation. The 40,000 km or 24-month change interval applies specifically under normal operating conditions, meaning the fluid replacement schedule is tied to that defined use context.
  • The interval structure of 10,000 km checks against a 40,000 km change cycle is consistent across both the 1986-1990 and 1990-1999 Super Carry generations, regardless of which of the two transmission capacities applies.
