Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Additional Notes

  • The Ford Kuga Mk I (EU) automatic transaxle on the 2.0 TDCi 103 kW AWD Euro 5 carries a capacity range of 7.5 to 7.9 liters, with the notation that additional fluid volume is required when the cooler is also filled, meaning the upper figure accounts for a more complete system fill rather than a simple pan service.
  • The same 2.0 TDCi 103 kW AWD Euro 5 semi-automatic transaxle has a notably lower capacity range of 6 to 7.25 liters, reflecting a different transmission unit that does not share the cooler-inclusive fill requirement of the automatic variant.
  • The 2.0 TDCi 120 kW AWD Euro 5 automatic transaxle mirrors the 103 kW specification exactly, with a 7.5 to 7.9 liter capacity plus cooler and the same 60,000 km or 36-month change interval under normal use conditions.
  • Both the 103 kW and 120 kW Euro 5 semi-automatic transaxles share an identical capacity range of 6 to 7.25 liters and an identical normal-use change interval of 60,000 km or 36 months, indicating no differentiation in fluid service requirements between the two power outputs for that transmission type.
  • The 2.5 Turbo AWD automatic transaxle carries a fixed capacity of 7.7 liters, a single value rather than a range, which suggests a more precisely defined fill volume for that unit compared to the variable ranges listed for the diesel variants.
  • Rather than a fluid change interval, the 2.5 Turbo AWD automatic transaxle specifies a check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, a notably more frequent service action than the 60,000 km or 36-month change intervals assigned to the Euro 5 diesel configurations.
