Additional Notes

  • Across the Ford Capri MK II (EU) lineup from 1974-1978, automatic transmission fluid capacities vary by engine configuration, with the 1.3 HC, 1.6 GT, 1.6 HC, 2.0 HC, and 2.3 HC all sharing an identical 6.5-liter fill capacity.
  • The 2.0 HC V6 variant carries a slightly higher automatic transmission fluid capacity of 6.6 liters, distinguishing it from the four-cylinder 2.0 HC configuration, which holds 6.5 liters despite sharing the same displacement designation.
  • The 3.0 HC stands apart from all other Capri MK II configurations with an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 7.5 liters, a full liter more than the 6.5-liter figure common to most variants in the range.
  • A capacity of 6.5 to 7.5 liters is consistent with a total system fill, which accounts for fluid held within the torque converter in addition to the transmission pan — a notably larger volume than a simple drain-and-refill service would require.
  • All seven configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the stated capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles such as towing or frequent short-trip driving.
  • The stepped increase from 6.5 liters in the smaller-displacement engines to 7.5 liters in the 3.0 HC reflects the larger torque converter and transmission housing typically paired with higher-displacement powerplants to manage greater rotational force.
