Additional Notes

  • The Land Rover Discovery 3 L319 (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity is listed as 9.5 liters across all four available configurations, covering the 2.7 TdV6, 2.7 TdV6 DPF, 4.0 V6, and 4.4 V8 variants for the 2005-2009 model years.
  • The 9.5-liter figure is designated as an initial fill, meaning the value reflects the total fluid volume required when filling a dry or overhauled transmission rather than the smaller partial volume typically associated with a routine drain-and-refill service.
  • The service interval for all four configurations is set at 240,000 km or 120 months under normal use conditions, placing the change interval at a ten-year or high-mileage threshold, whichever comes first.
  • The 120-month time-based interval means that even in lower-mileage applications, the fluid is due for replacement once a decade has elapsed, regardless of whether the distance threshold has been reached.
  • All four configurations share an identical capacity and interval specification, indicating no differentiation in automatic transmission fluid requirements between the diesel and petrol powertrains in the Discovery 3 L319 (EU) lineup for 2005-2009.
  • The inclusion of the 2.7 TdV6 DPF as a separate row alongside the standard 2.7 TdV6 reflects a distinct variant designation, yet both carry the same 9.5-liter initial fill and 240,000 km / 120-month service interval under normal use conditions.
