Quick answer
Changan UAE's current CS95 brochure lists an 8-speed automatic (8AT) with Sport, Snow and Eco modes, and the model page describes it as an Aisin 8AT driving through a BorgWarner intelligent four-wheel-drive (4WD) system. The gearbox needs the automatic transmission fluid type Changan specifies. The 4WD driveline adds other lubricated units whose oils are separate from the ATF. ShipMyPart has not verified any of these fluids, quantities or intervals, so we confirm them from your VIN.

An eight-speed with a torque converter
Unlike a dual-clutch gearbox, a conventional 8-speed automatic moves off through a torque converter and changes gear with clutch packs controlled by hydraulic pressure. Its fluid therefore does three jobs at once: it transmits power inside the converter, it gives the clutch packs the right friction to engage smoothly, and it carries heat to the cooler. Fluids look alike in the bottle but differ in exactly those friction properties, so the correct type matters more than the brand.
Three more places that may need oil
- The 4WD coupling or transfer unit that sends torque rearwards (transfer case).
- The rear differential, which usually has its own gear oil.
- The propeller shaft joints, normally greased rather than oiled.
Changan's published material does not say which of these is serviced separately or with what, so we confirm each by VIN instead of guessing.
Towing, heat and fluid temperature
Automatic transmission fluid wears out mainly through heat. Pulling a trailer or a full load of seven people up a long grade in summer keeps the torque converter working and the fluid hot for longer. If you tow regularly, ask whether your service book treats that as severe use, and keep the radiator and the area in front of it clear so the cooling airflow is not blocked.
What a driveline problem can feel like
| Symptom | Possible area to check |
|---|---|
| Slurred or late upshifts when hot | Fluid condition or level, gearbox control unit |
| Thump when selecting Drive or Reverse | Fluid, engine and gearbox mounts |
| Whine from the rear that rises with speed | Rear differential |
| Shudder or binding on tight turns in a car park | 4WD coupling, tyre sizes |
These are possibilities, not a diagnosis; a workshop with the right diagnostic tool decides.
Questions to settle before a gearbox service
- Which ATF does Changan list for your CS95, and how much is needed for a drain and fill?
- Does the service include a transmission filter?
- Are the 4WD unit and rear differential due as well?

Frequently asked questions
What gearbox does the Changan CS95 have?
Changan UAE's brochure lists an 8-speed automatic (8AT) with Sport, Snow and Eco modes; the model page calls it an Aisin 8AT.
Is the CS95 four-wheel drive?
Yes. The brochure lists 4WD and the model page describes a BorgWarner intelligent four-wheel-drive system.
Which transmission fluid does the CS95 use?
The ATF type Changan specifies for the gearbox. ShipMyPart has not verified it; we confirm it by VIN.
Do the 4WD unit and rear differential use the gearbox fluid?
Not usually; they normally have their own oils. Changan's published material doesn't say, so we check by VIN.
How much ATF does the CS95 need?
ShipMyPart has not verified the quantity; we confirm it by VIN.
Does towing affect the transmission fluid?
Yes. Towing keeps the fluid hotter for longer, which is why many service books treat it as severe use.
