Additional Notes

  • The Citroën Xsara 1.8i (74 kW) automatic transaxle holds 2.4 liters of fluid across all listed model years and use conditions, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul capacity.
  • For the 1997-1998 1.8i under normal use, a fluid check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months applies alongside a change interval of 30,000 km or 48 months, meaning the fluid is inspected twice before a full change is due.
  • Under severe use conditions for the 1997-1998 1.8i, the change interval shortens considerably to 20,000 km or 12 months, with no separate check interval listed, indicating the change itself serves as the primary service action.
  • The 1999-2001 1.8i under normal use carries a check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, which is longer than the 15,000 km check interval specified for the 1997-1998 variant under the same use condition.
  • The normal-use change interval for the 1999-2001 1.8i extends to 40,000 km or 48 months, compared to 30,000 km or 48 months for the 1997-1998 model, reflecting a longer distance threshold while the time limit remains unchanged.
