Same Explorer

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Same Explorer automatic transmission fluid capacity is 48 liters. Service intervals include checking every 300 hours and changing every 1200 hours or 12 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • All six configurations listed across the Same Explorer 95, Explorer 100, and Explorer 105 variants share an identical transmission/transaxle fluid capacity of 48 liters, indicating a common drivetrain architecture across the range.
  • A 48-liter transmission fluid capacity is substantially large, consistent with heavy-duty agricultural or industrial machinery rather than passenger vehicles, where transmission capacities typically fall between 4 and 12 liters.
  • Each configuration carries a check interval of 300 hours under normal use conditions, meaning fluid level and condition are to be inspected at that point before the full change interval is reached.
  • The fluid change interval is set at 1200 hours or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, applying a dual threshold that accounts for both operational intensity and calendar aging of the fluid.
  • The 1200-hour change interval means a unit operating at high annual hours, such as 1500 or more, would reach the time-based threshold before the hour-based one, making the 12-month calendar limit the governing factor in high-utilization scenarios.
  • Each variant is identified by a unique serial number prefix beginning from a specific chassis number, with the Stage 5 designation indicating an emissions certification stage applicable to the engine fitted in units from 2020 onward.
  • The Explorer 95, 100, and 105 designations likely reflect power output ratings in horsepower or kilowatts, yet all three share the same 48-liter transmission capacity and identical service intervals, pointing to a shared transmission unit across the power range.
