2 Answers
Peugeot 307 transmission oil is 4 liters. Transmission Oil: Transmission oil is a lubricant used to keep the gear system clean, ensuring the normal operation of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. It also provides effective lubrication at low temperatures and reduces oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Depending on the transmission structure, transmission oil is categorized into automatic transmission oil and manual transmission oil. Peugeot 307: The Peugeot 307 is classified as a compact car, with dimensions of 4212mm in length, 1762mm in width, and 1531mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2608mm, a front track of 1505mm, and a rear track of 1497mm. The Peugeot 307 has a minimum ground clearance of 117mm, a fuel tank capacity of 60L, and is equipped with an EC5 engine. It features a 5-speed manual transmission and a maximum torque of 150 Nm.
When I drove a Peugeot 307 manual version, I changed the transmission oil several times, remembering the capacity was roughly between 2 liters to 2.2 liters. Every time I went to the repair shop for an oil change, the mechanic reminded me to measure accurately—adding too much oil could cause overflow and lead to rough shifting, while adding too little would accelerate gear wear. I usually change the oil every 60,000 kilometers to keep the transmission smooth. The automatic version requires a bit more, around 3.5 liters, but it depends on the specific model year—for example, the 2004 model might need slightly less. I recommend checking the owner’s manual for precise figures to avoid DIY mistakes. When buying oil, don’t go for cheap options; use Peugeot’s recommended specialized oil, such as the 75W-80 specification, or else components could get damaged. If you feel jerking while driving, it’s a sign to check the oil level immediately.
