Additional Notes

  • The Ropa Tiger/euro-Tiger differential fluid specifications cover configurations across the Tiger 5, Tiger 6, and euro-Tiger e-T variants, with front differential capacity held at 23 liters across all listed configurations.
  • Rear differential capacities differ between the Tiger 5 and Tiger 6 variants versus the euro-Tiger e-T variants. The Tiger 5 and Tiger 6 configurations specify 30 liters for both the first and second rear axle differentials, while the euro-Tiger e-T V8-4a and V8-4b specify 20 liters for the first rear axle and 18 liters for the second rear axle.
  • The smaller rear differential capacities on the euro-Tiger e-T V8-4a and V8-4b reflect a different axle assembly compared to the Tiger 5 and Tiger 6 platforms, where the uniform 30-liter rear axle capacity across both rear differentials indicates a consistent axle unit throughout those configurations.
  • Under normal use conditions, all listed configurations require a fluid level check every 50 hours and a full fluid change every 12 months, applied equally to the front differential and both rear axle differentials.
  • A first-change-only interval of 50 hours is specified for the Tiger 5, Tiger 6 (RT6a) RR Tier 2, Tiger 6 (RT6c) RR Tier 4f, euro-Tiger e-T V8-4a, and euro-Tiger e-T V8-4b. This early change interval is a common practice for new or rebuilt differentials, as initial operation generates fine metallic particles from component break-in that are removed before the standard service schedule begins.
  • The Tiger 6Sa with Volvo TAD1643VE-B engine and the Tiger 6Sd with Volvo TWD1683VE engine, both introduced from 2021, carry no first-change-only interval in the specifications. All three differential positions on these configurations list only the normal-use schedule of a 50-hour check and 12-month change.
  • The Tiger 6 is represented by two distinct variants in the specifications: the RT6a RR Tier 2 and the RT6c RR Tier 4f, both introduced from 2017. Tier 2 and Tier 4 Final refer to emissions certification levels, and despite the difference in engine emissions standards between the two, the differential fluid capacities and service intervals are identical across both variants.
  • The 12-month change interval for differential fluid is time-based rather than purely hour-based under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid is replaced annually regardless of accumulated operating hours beyond the 50-hour check threshold.
