Additional Notes

  • The Ford Consul (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity is listed at 7 liters across all five engine variants covered in the 1972-1976 model years.
  • A 7-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity is a relatively substantial fill volume, consistent with the total system capacity of a torque converter-equipped automatic transmission rather than a partial drain-and-fill service quantity.
  • The 1.7 HC, 2.0 HC, 2.3 HC, 2.6 HC, and 3.0 HC engine variants all share the identical 7-liter automatic transmission fluid specification, indicating a common transmission unit was paired across the full engine displacement range.
  • All five configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 7-liter capacity figure applies under standard operating conditions rather than a severe-duty service schedule.
  • The HC designation appearing across all listed variants refers to the high-compression engine family, and the uniform fluid capacity across displacements from 1.7 to 3.0 liters reinforces that the transmission hardware remained consistent regardless of engine output differences.
