DAF F800

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

DAF F800 differential fluid capacity is 4 liters. Service intervals require a change every 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

  • The DAF F800 CB (4x2) and F800 CN (4x2) both carry a rear differential fluid capacity of 4 liters, which represents a service fill volume typical of a single-axle rear differential unit in a light-to-medium commercial vehicle.
  • Both the CB and CN variants share an identical 12-month change interval under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid replacement schedule is tied to elapsed time rather than mileage or operational intensity.
  • The 4-liter capacity figure applies uniformly across the 1987-1991 model years for both configurations, indicating no variation in differential sizing between the CB and CN body types within the F800 range.
  • A 12-month interval under normal use conditions is a calendar-based service cycle, which accounts for fluid degradation over time regardless of how frequently the vehicle is operated during that period.
