Additional Notes

  • All three engine configurations in the Land Rover Discovery 2, L318 (EU) share an identical automatic transmission fluid capacity of 9.7 liters, specified as a dry fill figure.
  • A dry fill capacity represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt transmission, rather than the smaller top-up or service refill quantity used during a routine fluid change.
  • The 2.5 Td5 (1998-2005) carries a fluid check interval of 40,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 4.6 V8i (2002-2005) specifies a fluid change interval of 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, which is a notably longer calendar period than the check interval listed for the 2.5 Td5.
  • The 4.0 V8i (1998-2005) carries no interval specification alongside its 9.7-liter dry fill capacity, meaning no check or change schedule is recorded in the available data for that variant.
  • The 4.6 V8i entered the specification range in 2002, making it a later addition within the 1998-2005 model span compared to the 2.5 Td5 and 4.0 V8i, both of which are listed from 1998.
