Land Rover Defender, LD (USA) manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2,2 to 2,67 liters. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Type	Specifications
Defender 90 4.0 V8i (1997-1998)	Use: Normal Capacity 2,67 liter Code: R380 5/1
Defender 90 3.9 V8i (1994-1995)	Use: Normal Capacity 2,67 liter Code: R380 5/1

The Land Rover Defender LD (USA) manual transmission fluid specifications cover two distinct capacity values across the model range: 2.2 liters and 2.67 liters.
The Defender 110 3.9 V8i (1993-1994) carries a manual transmission fluid capacity of 2.2 liters, which is the lower of the two figures present in the specifications.
The Defender 90 3.9 V8i (1994-1995) has a manual transmission fluid capacity of 2.67 liters, a notably higher figure than the 110 variant despite sharing the same engine displacement.
The Defender 90 4.0 V8i (1997-1998) shares the 2.67-liter manual transmission fluid capacity with the earlier 3.9 V8i Defender 90, indicating the same transmission unit was carried across the engine change in the 90 body configuration.
All three configurations list fluid capacity under normal use conditions, meaning the figures represent standard service fill quantities rather than a differentiated severe-duty or first-change specification.
A capacity figure such as 2.67 liters is consistent with a service fill measurement, reflecting the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling a transmission during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul strip-down quantity.
