Ford Galaxy Mk I, WGR (EU)

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Ford Galaxy Mk I, WGR (EU) differential fluid capacity ranges from 0,8 to 1 liter. Service intervals require checks every 15000 km or 12 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Ford Galaxy Mk I (WGR) differential fluid capacity from the automatic transmission unit is 0.8 liter across the 2.0i, 2.3i, and 2.8i VR6 4x4 configurations, indicating a consistent service fill volume for that specific differential location regardless of engine displacement.
  • The 2.0i variant covers model years 1995-2000, while the 2.3i was introduced a year later, spanning 1996-2000, meaning the two engines share the same 0.8 liter differential capacity despite their different production start dates.
  • The 2.8i VR6 4x4 carries a second differential entry for the rear unit, with a capacity of 1 liter, which is 0.2 liter greater than the front automatic-sourced differential on the same vehicle.
  • The rear differential on the 2.8i VR6 4x4 being a separate service point from the automatic-sourced differential means the 4x4 configuration involves two distinct fluid fills, totaling 1.8 liters across both differential locations.
  • All four rows share an identical check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, applying equally to the automatic-sourced differential on the 2.0i, 2.3i, and 2.8i VR6 4x4, as well as the rear differential on the 2.8i VR6 4x4.
  • The interval structure specifies whichever threshold is reached first, whether distance or time, since both a mileage figure and a calendar period are listed together for each configuration.
