Additional Notes

  • Across the Ford Capri Mk I (EU) automatic transmission configurations, two distinct fluid capacities appear in the specifications: 7 liters and 6.6 liters. The 7-liter figure is the larger of the two and applies exclusively to earlier production variants from the 1969-1972 period.
  • The 1.3 LC, 1.5 HC, 1.5 LC, and 1.7 HC engine variants all share a 7-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity for the 1969-1972 period. Each of those same engine variants, where continued into 1972-1973, carries a reduced capacity of 6.6 liters.
  • The shift from 7 liters to 6.6 liters between the 1969-1972 and 1972-1973 specifications for the 1.3 LC, 1.5 HC, and 1.7 HC variants represents a reduction of 0.4 liters. A capacity change of this kind between model year revisions typically reflects a revised transmission unit or updated sump design rather than a change in service procedure.
  • The 2.0 HC and 2.0 LC variants both carry a 6.6-liter capacity from 1969 onward, without the 7-liter figure seen in the smaller-displacement engines of the same early production period. The 2.0 HC specification remains at 6.6 liters across both the 1969-1972 and 1972-1973 entries.
  • The 2.3 HC, 2.3 SHC, 2.6 HC, and Capri RS2600 configurations all share the 6.6-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity. Among these, the 2.3 SHC and 2.6 HC designations indicate higher-performance compression or displacement variants, yet neither departs from the 6.6-liter figure common to the larger-engine group.
  • All 15 rows in the specifications carry a normal use condition designation. In fluid service contexts, a normal use classification generally refers to standard operating conditions, as opposed to severe or heavy-duty duty cycles that would typically call for shortened service intervals.
  • The Capri RS2600, listed for 1972-1973, shares the same 6.6-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity as the standard 2.6 HC variant of the same period. The RS2600 designation identifies a higher-performance model, but the transmission fluid capacity specification does not differ from the conventional 2.6 HC entry.
