How many liters of transmission fluid does the Excelle require?
2 Answers
Replacing the automatic transmission fluid for an Excelle typically requires approximately 4.5 liters. Below is relevant information regarding Excelle transmission fluid: 1. Excelle transmission fluid replacement interval: The transmission fluid in an Excelle should generally be replaced every 3 years or when the vehicle reaches 60,000 kilometers; alternatively, a flush machine can be used for replacement, which usually requires about 10 liters of fluid. Vehicles with higher mileage may require more frequent maintenance. 2. Transmission fluid quantity requirements: All vehicles require transmission fluid replacement due to mechanical wear during operation; therefore, regular transmission fluid changes are necessary. For transmission fluid replacement, 6-8 liters can be used as a general estimate, while using a flush machine may require an additional 5-6 liters.
Last year when I changed the transmission fluid for my Excelle, I did some research. For manual transmissions, generally 3 liters is sufficient, but automatic transmissions require 4.5 to 5 liters. However, this amount varies depending on the fluid change method: if using a simple gravity drain, about 4 liters is enough since the old fluid won't be completely removed; for a thorough flush with a machine, you'll need 8-10 liters, which increases the cost. My own 1.6L automatic transmission actually used 4.8 liters, leaving some leftover in the container. I recommend confirming with the repair shop beforehand which method they use to avoid unexpected price hikes. Remember to choose fluid that meets the original manufacturer's standards, otherwise it may affect shift smoothness. Additionally, it's advisable to change the fluid every 60,000 kilometers or so, which is crucial for extending the transmission's lifespan.
