Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval
Setra BR 200 requires automatic transmission fluid with a capacity of 38 liters. Service intervals occur every 45000 km or 12 months. The data covers 3 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.
| Type | Specifications |
|---|---|
| S 217 HDH (1993-2002) |

Additional Notes
- The Setra BR 200 automatic transmission fluid capacity is 38 liters across all three listed configurations, which is consistent with a full system fill figure covering the transmission sump, torque converter, and hydraulic circuit rather than a drain-and-refill service quantity.
- The S 215 HDH paired with the Detroit Diesel 60 engine, covering model years 1984-2002, carries the same 38-liter capacity and 45,000 km or 12-month change interval as the other configurations in the BR 200 lineup.
- The S 215 HDH with the OM442LA engine spans 1976-1991 and shares the identical 38-liter fill capacity and 45,000 km or 12-month service interval, indicating no specification difference between the two engine variants of the S 215 HDH despite the different powerplants.
- The 45,000 km or 12-month interval applies under normal use conditions across all three configurations, meaning the interval is based on whichever threshold is reached first in standard operating circumstances.
- The S 217 HDH, covering 1993-2002, maintains the same 38-liter capacity and 45,000 km or 12-month change interval as the S 215 HDH variants, showing no capacity or interval differentiation between the two model designations within the BR 200 series.
- A 12-month time-based limit alongside the 45,000 km distance interval reflects the practice of accounting for fluid degradation from heat cycling and moisture absorption even when mileage accumulation is low, as is common in coach and bus applications with variable seasonal usage.
