How Many Liters of Transmission Fluid Does a Car Need?

[VanLucas]

For manual transmission fluid change (gravity drain method), approximately 4 to 6 liters are required; when using a fluid exchange machine, about 9 to 12 liters are needed. Different vehicle models have varying replacement intervals. Below are the recommended transmission fluid replacement cycles: Manual Transmission: Manual transmission fluid is generally recommended to be replaced every three years or approximately 100,000 kilometers. Automatic Transmission: Automatic transmission fluid is typically advised to be replaced every two years or around 40,000 kilometers. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): CVT fluid is usually recommended for replacement every two years or about 60,000 kilometers. The methods for changing transmission fluid are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid before refilling. Directly remove the transmission oil pan for draining and refilling: This method provides a more thorough replacement than the previous one by removing deposits from the bottom of the oil pan. Using a circulation machine for automatic transmission fluid change: A smart circulation machine enables dynamic fluid exchange, filtering and cleaning sludge and impurities within the automatic transmission.
