Same Explorer I & II

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Same Explorer I & II utilize automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 35 to 52 liters. Service intervals include checking at 50 hours and changing at 1200 hours or 24 months. The data covers 7 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Same Explorer I & II automatic transmission fluid capacity splits into two distinct values across the 2016 lineup. The Explorer 75 transaxle/transmission holds 35 liters, while the Explorer 100 Special, Explorer 75 Special, Explorer 80 Special, Explorer 85 Special, Explorer 90 Special, and Explorer 95 Special all share a 52-liter capacity.
  • The 52-liter figure is notably large and reflects the fluid volume required for a full transaxle/transmission service fill on the Special-series configurations, which house larger transmission assemblies than the standard Explorer 75.
  • The Explorer 75 at 35 liters represents a meaningfully smaller transmission system, consistent with a lower-output configuration relative to the Special variants sharing the 52-liter specification.
  • All seven configurations carry an identical fluid check interval of 50 hours under normal use conditions, establishing a frequent monitoring schedule relative to the change interval.
  • The fluid change interval across all listed configurations is 1200 hours or 24 months under normal use, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger structure means time elapsed can mandate a change even when the hour threshold has not been reached.
  • The ratio between the check interval and the change interval is 24 to 1 on an hourly basis, meaning the transaxle/transmission fluid is inspected at least 24 times before a scheduled change is due at 1200 hours.
  • Serial number cutoffs are listed for each configuration, such as up to ZKDT540200TS1001 for the Explorer 100 Special and up to S10S714WT1E13001 for the Explorer 75, indicating that the 2016-onward specifications apply to units from those serial numbers forward.
