Additional Notes

  • The Ford Galaxy Mk I, WGR (EU) manual transmission fluid specifications cover a transaxle layout across all listed engine variants, meaning the gearbox and differential share a single integrated housing rather than operating as separate units.
  • Every engine variant in the lineup — the 1.9 TDi (66 kW), 1.9 TDi (81 kW), 2.0i, 2.3i, and 2.8i VR6 4x4 — carries an identical transaxle fluid capacity of 2 liters, indicating no variation in housing volume across diesel and petrol configurations.
  • A 2-liter service fill capacity is a relatively modest figure, consistent with a compact transaxle unit where fluid volume is constrained by the integrated design rather than a standalone gearbox.
  • The check interval for all five variants is set at 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, meaning the interval is governed by both distance and elapsed time.
  • The 15,000 km or 12-month check interval applies specifically to normal use conditions across the entire range, with no separate interval defined for severe use in the specifications.
  • The 1.9 TDi (66 kW) variant covers the widest model year span in the lineup, running from 1995-2000, while the higher-output 1.9 TDi (81 kW) entered the range later, from 1997-2000, yet both share the same 2-liter capacity and check interval.
  • The 2.8i VR6 4x4 is the only all-wheel-drive configuration listed, yet the manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2 liters and the 15,000 km or 12-month check interval remain unchanged relative to the front-wheel-drive variants.
