Additional Notes
- All three engine configurations listed for the Land Rover Discovery 1, LJ (EU) share an identical automatic transmission fluid capacity of 9.1 liters, indicating a common transmission unit across the 200 Tdi, 300 Tdi, and 4.0 V8i variants.
- A 9.1-liter capacity figure for an automatic transmission typically reflects a full service fill, accounting for fluid retained within the torque converter and valve body in addition to the main sump volume.
- The 200 Tdi (1989-1994) and 300 Tdi (1995-1998) both carry a fluid check interval of 20,000 km under normal use conditions, serving as a mid-cycle inspection point between full drain-and-fill services.
- Under normal use conditions, the 200 Tdi and 300 Tdi specify a fluid change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, meaning time elapsed is treated as an equally valid trigger alongside distance.
- The 4.0 V8i (1993-1998) has no check or change interval recorded in the specifications, with only the 9.1-liter capacity figure present for normal use conditions.
- The 300 Tdi replaced the 200 Tdi in 1995, yet the automatic transmission service specifications remained unchanged between the two generations, with capacity, check interval, and change interval all carrying over identically.
