How much transmission oil should be added to the Zotye T600?

The Zotye T600 requires 4L to 5L of transmission oil. Generally, it is recommended to replace the transmission oil after two years of use or after driving 40,000 kilometers. The replacement time can also be determined based on the working condition of the car's transmission. The overall features of the Zotye T600 1.5T Flagship version are not significantly different from the 1.5T Elite, Luxury, and Premium versions. The Flagship version is equipped with a new roof rack and rear spoiler, making it more distinctive. Additionally, it includes electrically folding mirrors with turn signals, electric heating for defrosting, and ground lights, which are very helpful when navigating narrow roads. The electric heating defrost function can effectively improve mirror visibility during rainy or snowy weather, enhancing driving safety.
From my experience, the Zotye T600 automatic transmission usually requires about 6 to 7 liters of fluid for a complete change, but it's best to refer to your owner's manual as there might be slight variations between different model years. I've worked in auto repair shops for years and have seen numerous cases where owners tried to save effort by only adding 5 liters, resulting in transmission overheating and gear damage. When changing the fluid, make sure to thoroughly drain the old fluid, including from the oil pan and cooling system. Use dedicated automatic transmission fluid for the new oil. I recommend changing it every 40,000 kilometers—don't wait until problems arise. If you're unsure about the quantity, drive to a professional repair shop and let the mechanics check it. Additionally, insufficient fluid levels can also cause gear shifting jerks. I always remind my friends to perform regular maintenance to extend their vehicle's lifespan.
