How Many Liters of Transmission Fluid Does a Porsche 718 Need?

[McElliott]

Porsche 718 requires approximately 6 liters of transmission fluid. The more common methods for replacing transmission fluid are gravity drainage and machine-assisted fluid exchange. Transmission fluid replacement should be performed by a professional technician at a repair shop. Details are as follows: 1. Gravity Drainage. The vehicle is lifted, the transmission pan drain plug at the bottom is loosened, and the transmission fluid will naturally drain out. Once no more fluid flows out, the plug is tightened, and new transmission fluid is added. This method is cost-effective and straightforward, but the replacement rate is relatively low, as the old fluid in the internal valve body and torque converter cannot be fully drained. Gravity drainage can only replace about 50% of the transmission fluid. 2. Machine-Assisted Fluid Exchange. The machine is connected to the vehicle, and by starting the engine, the automatic transmission provides pressure to the machine, enabling it to circulate and exchange fluid with the transmission. This method releases more old fluid, but typically requires around 10 liters of transmission fluid. Additionally, specialized equipment is needed, and the replacement process takes longer.
