Additional Notes

  • Both the F800 CB (4x2) and F800 CN (4x2) share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 4.5 liters, recorded under normal use conditions for the 1987-1991 period.
  • A 4.5-liter fill capacity is consistent with a medium-duty manual gearbox service fill, representing the working fluid volume maintained during routine servicing rather than a full overhaul drain-and-fill figure.
  • The normal use condition tied to the 4.5-liter specification means the interval applies to standard operating environments, as opposed to severe-duty cycles such as heavy towing, extreme temperatures, or frequent stop-and-go operation.
  • The DAF F800 CB and CN variants both follow a 4x2 drivetrain layout, and the matching transmission fluid capacity across both configurations suggests a shared gearbox unit between the two body or cab designations.
