Additional Notes

  • The Ford Scorpio Mk II automatic transmission fluid capacity is 10.3 liters across all four engine configurations covered in the 1995-1999 specifications, applying equally to both transaxle and transmission unit types.
  • A 10.3-liter figure at the service fill level indicates a relatively large fluid volume, consistent with a full automatic unit that includes an integrated torque converter reservoir rather than a separate gearbox-only sump.
  • The 2.0 16V DOHC and 2.3 16V variants are noted as transaxle configurations, meaning the transmission and differential are housed in a single combined unit, which is typical of front-wheel-drive or certain all-wheel-drive layouts.
  • The 2.9i V6 and 2.9i V6 24V variants are noted as transmission configurations rather than transaxle, reflecting a distinct drivetrain architecture from the four-cylinder models despite sharing the same 10.3-liter fluid capacity.
  • The 2.0 16V DOHC (1995-1999) and 2.3 16V (1996-1999) both carry a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions.
  • The 2.9i V6 24V (1995-1999) also carries a 15,000 km or 12-month check interval under normal use, aligning with the four-cylinder models despite the different transmission unit type.
  • The 2.9i V6 (1995-1996) stands apart with a check interval of 45,000 km or 12 months under normal use, which is three times the distance interval specified for the other three configurations.
  • The 2.3 16V variant has a starting model year of 1996, making the applicable specification range 1996-1999, which is narrower than the 1995-1999 range covering the 2.0 16V DOHC and the V6 variants.
