Leyland DAF 65CF

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Leyland DAF 65CF uses manual transmission fluid with a capacity range of 7,5 to 9,5 liters. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Type	Specifications
65CF.210 (4x2) (1998- )	Use: Normal Capacity 7,5 liter Code: ZF S6-36 6/1
65CF.240 (4x2) (1998- )	Use: Normal Capacity 9,5 liter Code: ZF 9S-75 8/1

The Leyland DAF 65CF manual transmission fluid capacity varies between configurations, with the 65CF.210 (4x2) requiring 7.5 liters and the 65CF.240 (4x2) requiring 9.5 liters — a difference of 2 liters between the two variants sharing the same drivetrain layout.
Both the 65CF.210 (4x2) and 65CF.240 (4x2) capacities are specified under normal use conditions, meaning the listed fill volumes apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
The 9.5-liter figure for the 65CF.240 (4x2) is notably higher than the 7.5-liter figure for the 65CF.210 (4x2), which is consistent with larger or more complex gearbox assemblies that require greater fluid volume to maintain adequate lubrication across all internal components.
Both configurations carry a starting year of 1998, and the capacity values listed represent service fill levels — the amount of fluid required during a standard transmission service rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill scenario.
