Dennis R-Type

Clutch fluid capacity & service interval

Dennis R-Type clutch fluid capacity is 0,23 liter. Service intervals consist of 10000 km/ 12 months and 10000 km/ 3 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications

R 405 Euro 2 (2000-2005)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,23 liter
  • Check 10000 km/ 3 months
  • Code: Lucas & ZF

Additional Notes

  • Both the R 340 Euro 2 and R 405 Euro 2 share a clutch fluid capacity of 0.23 liter, which is a small reservoir volume consistent with a hydraulic clutch master cylinder system rather than a large-volume overhaul fill.
  • The Dennis R-Type R 340 Euro 2 (2000-2005) carries a check interval of every 10,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid level inspection is tied to whichever threshold arrives first.
  • The R 405 Euro 2 (2000-2005) shares the same 10,000 km distance interval for clutch fluid checks but specifies a 3-month time interval rather than 12 months, making the calendar-based check frequency four times greater than on the R 340 Euro 2.
  • The difference in time-based check intervals between the R 340 Euro 2 and R 405 Euro 2 suggests the two engine variants are treated differently in terms of fluid monitoring frequency, despite carrying identical fluid capacities.
  • A 0.23 liter capacity across both configurations indicates a sealed hydraulic clutch circuit where fluid consumption between checks would be minimal under normal operating conditions, and any measurable drop in level would typically signal a leak rather than routine consumption.
