Quick answer
Geely UAE's Emgrand page lists a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT). A conventional automatic of this kind uses automatic transmission fluid (ATF) of the type Geely specifies, which is a different product from CVT fluid or dual-clutch fluid. Some earlier Emgrand versions used other gearbox types, so the VIN decides. ShipMyPart has not verified the fluid type, quantity or interval and confirms them by VIN before supplying any.
Is your Emgrand a 6-speed automatic?
The current Geely UAE page lists a 6-speed automatic (6AT) for the Emgrand. Older cars on UAE roads, or cars imported from other markets, may have a different gearbox, and each type takes a different fluid. Our first step is to read the gearbox from your VIN; nothing is quoted before that.
Specifications
| Item | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Model on the Geely UAE page | Emgrand (sedan) | www.geely.ae |
| Engine | 1.5D petrol, direct injection | www.geely.ae |
| Power / torque | 90 kW (120 HP) / 152 N·m | www.geely.ae |
| Transmission | 6-speed automatic (6AT) | www.geely.ae |
Fluid specifications for this model are confirmed by VIN on request.
How a 6-speed automatic uses its fluid
A conventional automatic pulls away through a torque converter, a fluid coupling between engine and gearbox, and changes gear by engaging clutch packs with hydraulic pressure. The fluid therefore transmits power, operates the valve body, cools the converter and lubricates the gears. When it ages, shifts become slower or harsher and the converter runs hotter.
Three fluids that must not be swapped
| Fluid | For | In an Emgrand 6AT? |
|---|---|---|
| ATF (Geely-specified type) | Torque-converter automatics | Yes, the type in the service data |
| CVT fluid | Belt or chain CVTs | No |
| DCT fluid | Dual-clutch gearboxes | No |
How a tired 6AT tends to feel
- Delay before the car moves after selecting Drive or Reverse.
- Firm or "banging" upshifts once the car is warm.
- Engine revs flaring between gears.
- Shudder at steady low speeds, which can involve the torque converter lock-up.
These are possible signs, not a diagnosis; stored codes in the control modules help a workshop pinpoint the cause.
Heat, traffic and ATF life
ATF breaks down mainly through heat. In stop-start summer traffic the torque converter slips more often and the fluid has little chance to cool. If your Emgrand spends most of its life in city queues, ask whether your service book treats that as severe use for the gearbox as well as the engine.
Booking a gearbox fluid service
Ask the workshop to confirm, from your VIN, the fluid Geely lists and the amount for the job; whether a transmission filter is changed; and whether the gearbox needs its adaptive values reset afterwards. A gearbox that clunks into gear may also need its mounts checked.

Frequently asked questions
What gearbox does the Geely Emgrand have?
Geely UAE's current page lists a 6-speed automatic (6AT). Older Emgrand cars may differ, so we check by VIN.
Does the Emgrand use CVT fluid?
Not if it has the 6AT listed on Geely UAE's page; a 6-speed automatic takes the ATF type Geely specifies.
Which ATF does the Emgrand need?
The type named in Geely's service data for your gearbox. ShipMyPart has not verified it; send us your VIN.
How much ATF does the Emgrand need?
We confirm the quantity by VIN; it is not verified on this page.
When should Emgrand gearbox fluid be changed?
Follow the service book or a Geely service centre. We don't quote an interval until it is verified.
Why is my Emgrand slow to engage Drive?
Possible causes include low or aged fluid, internal wear or a control fault. A workshop diagnosis decides.
