Additional Notes

  • The Ford Maverick / Escape (EU) manual transmission fluid specifications cover two distinct unit types across the model range: a transaxle (combined transmission and differential in a single housing, typical of front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive layouts) for the 2000-2007 petrol engines, and a conventional standalone manual transmission for the 1993-1999 Maverick models.
  • The 2.4i 12V and 2.7 TD Maverick variants from 1993-1999 both carry a 3.5-liter transmission fluid capacity, which is notably higher than the transaxle figures listed for later engines. A larger standalone transmission housing generally accounts for a greater total fluid volume than an integrated transaxle unit.
  • Each of the transaxle-equipped configurations — the 2.0 16V (2000-2003), 2.3 16V (2004-2007), and 3.0 V6 (2000-2007) — lists two separate capacity values: 2.2 liters and 2.7 liters. These two figures likely correspond to different transaxle variants or fill procedures, such as a service top-up level versus a full drain-and-refill capacity.
  • All transaxle-equipped variants share identical service intervals under normal use conditions: a fluid level check every 15,000 km or 12 months, and a full fluid change every 90,000 km or 72 months. The 72-month change interval equals six years, meaning the time-based threshold may be reached before the distance threshold in lower-mileage usage patterns.
  • The 1993-1999 Maverick 2.4i 12V specifies a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use, with no change interval listed in the specifications. The 2.7 TD from the same generation carries a slightly longer check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, also without a listed change interval.
  • The 3.0 V6 engine appears across two overlapping date ranges in the specifications: 2000-2003 and 2003-2007. Both ranges carry the same 2.2-liter and 2.7-liter capacity entries and identical check and change intervals, indicating no service specification change occurred at the 2003 model year boundary for the V6 transaxle.
  • All specifications across every configuration listed apply exclusively to normal use conditions. No severe-use intervals are present in the data for any of the manual transmission or transaxle entries.
