Additional Notes

  • The Ford Cougar (EU) 2.5i 24V carries a transaxle automatic fluid capacity of 9.6 liters, a figure consistent with a full-system service fill that accounts for fluid held within the torque converter, valve body, and transmission passages.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2.5i 24V transaxle automatic is subject to a fluid check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first across the 1998-2002 model range.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 9.6-liter transaxle automatic carries a fluid change interval of 45,000 km or 36 months, applying to the full 1998-2002 production span of the 2.5i 24V.
  • The severe-use change interval of 45,000 km or 36 months is notably longer in distance than the normal-use check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months, reflecting that the normal-use schedule calls for inspection rather than a full fluid replacement at that mileage point.
