Additional Notes

  • The Ford Kuga Mk I (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacity is either 1.75 liters or 2 liters depending on the engine variant. A transaxle combines the transmission and differential into a single housing, so the quoted capacity covers that entire shared fluid volume.
  • The 100 kW 2.0 TDCi variants covering 2008-2010, in both AWD and FWD configurations, share a 1.75-liter transaxle capacity. The identical figure across drivetrain layouts in that output class suggests the same transaxle unit was used regardless of whether power was sent to two or four wheels.
  • The 2.5 Turbo AWD (2008-2013) carries a 2-liter transaxle capacity. The higher-displacement, higher-torque petrol engine is paired with a larger fluid volume, which is consistent with the greater mechanical load a turbocharged five-cylinder unit places on the gearbox.
  • The 103 kW 2.0 TDCi AWD Euro 5 (2010-2013) has two separate capacity entries: one at 2 liters and one at 1.75 liters. This dual listing indicates two distinct transaxle units were fitted to that specific variant, likely corresponding to different production runs or supplier configurations within the same model year range.
  • The 103 kW FWD Euro 5 and the 120 kW AWD Euro 5 variants, both covering 2010-2013, are each specified at 1.75 liters. Despite the difference in power output and drivetrain, the transaxle fluid volume is the same across those two configurations.
  • All rows carry a normal use condition tied to a check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. A check interval, as opposed to a change interval, means the fluid level is inspected and topped up if necessary rather than fully drained and replaced on that schedule.
  • The 20,000 km / 12-month check interval is uniform across all engine outputs, drivetrain types, and model years listed. Applying the same interval to both the 100 kW FWD entry and the more demanding 2.5 Turbo AWD reflects a single service schedule applied across the entire Kuga Mk I manual transmission range under normal use conditions.
