Additional Notes
- Across all three configurations listed — the Defender 110 3.9 V8i (1993-1994), the Defender 90 3.9 V8i (1994-1995), and the Defender 90 4.0 V8i (1997-1998) — the automatic transmission fluid capacity is 9.1 liters.
- A 9.1-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity is consistent with a service fill figure, meaning the amount of fluid used during a routine drain-and-refill service rather than a complete overhaul, which would typically require a higher volume to account for fluid retained in the torque converter and passages.
- The Land Rover Defender LD (USA) automatic transmission fluid change interval is specified at 30,000 miles for all three listed configurations.
- The 30,000-mile interval applies under normal use conditions, as each row carries a normal use designation rather than a severe-duty classification.
- The displacement difference between the 3.9 V8i engines (1993-1995) and the 4.0 V8i engine (1997-1998) produces no variation in either the fluid capacity or the change interval, with all three configurations sharing identical specifications of 9.1 liters and 30,000 miles.
- The Defender 110 body configuration (1993-1994) and the Defender 90 body configuration (1994-1995 and 1997-1998) also show no difference in automatic transmission fluid specifications, indicating the transmission service requirements were consistent regardless of wheelbase variant.
