Additional Notes

  • The Ford Capri MK II (EU) manual transmission fluid capacities vary across engine variants, ranging from 1 liter in the 1.3 HC up to 2 liters in the 3.0 HC, reflecting the differing gearbox sizes paired with each engine.
  • The 1.3 HC variant carries the smallest manual transmission fluid capacity in the lineup at 1 liter, consistent with the lighter-duty gearbox typically matched to smaller displacement engines of the era.
  • The 3.0 HC variant requires 2 liters of manual transmission fluid, the largest capacity across all listed configurations, which corresponds to the more robust gearbox needed to handle the higher torque output of a 3.0-liter engine.
  • The 1.6 GT, 1.6 HC, 2.0 HC, and 2.3 HC variants all share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.45 liters, indicating the use of a common gearbox unit across those engine options.
  • The 2.0 HC V6 is specified at 1.35 liters, placing the capacity between the 1.3 HC and the 1.45-liter group, which suggests a distinct gearbox assembly specific to the V6 engine configuration.
  • A 20,000 km fluid change interval under normal use conditions applies to the 1.3 HC, 1.6 GT, 1.6 HC, 2.0 HC, 2.3 HC, and 3.0 HC variants, representing a consistent service schedule across the majority of the Capri MK II manual transmission range.
  • The 2.0 HC V6 specification lists a fluid capacity but carries no change interval, unlike the other six variants which each include a 20,000 km service interval alongside their capacity figures.
