Additional Notes

  • The Ford Taunus 26M (EU) P7b with a 2.6-liter engine lists two distinct manual transmission fluid capacities: 1.0 liter and 1.3 liters, both associated with the same 20,000 km change interval under normal use conditions.
  • A difference of 0.3 liters between the two capacity figures is consistent with variation between transmission variants or fill methods, where a lower value may reflect a drain-and-refill service fill and a higher value may reflect a more complete overhaul or dry fill quantity.
  • The 20,000 km change interval applies to normal use conditions for both capacity entries across the 1969-1971 model years of the 2.6-liter P7b.
