Additional Notes

  • The Jaguar XJ (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity is listed as a range of 1.5 to 2.3 liters across the XJ6 Series 1 lineup, rather than a single fixed value. A range like this typically reflects variation between a drain-and-refill service fill and a full overhaul or dry fill, where the latter requires more fluid to account for passages and cavities that empty completely during a rebuild.
  • Both the 2.8 and 4.2 engine variants of the XJ6 Series 1 share the same 1.5 to 2.3 liter capacity specification for the manual transmission. Despite the difference in engine displacement between the two configurations, the gearbox fluid requirement is identical across the 1968-1973 model years covered.
  • The specifications for both XJ6 Series 1 variants are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the listed capacity applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or high-stress driving cycles.
