Additional Notes

  • The Land Rover Discovery 3 L319 (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity is 1.6 liters across all four engine variants covered in the 2005-2009 model range, which is a relatively modest fill volume consistent with a compact manual gearbox unit.
  • A 1.6-liter capacity figure represents a service fill, meaning the quantity of fluid required during a routine drain-and-refill procedure rather than a full overhaul or assembly fill, which would typically account for additional fluid retained in passages and components.
  • The 2.7 TdV6, 2.7 TdV6 DPF, 4.0 V6, and 4.4 V8 variants all share an identical 1.6-liter manual transmission fluid capacity, indicating no variation in gearbox fill volume across diesel and petrol engine configurations for this generation.
  • The fluid change interval is rated at 240,000 km or 120 months under normal use conditions, with 120 months equating to a 10-year calendar-based limit running alongside the distance threshold.
  • A 240,000 km service interval for manual transmission fluid is notably extended, reflecting a long-life fluid specification rather than a conventional short-cycle maintenance schedule.
  • The normal use condition applies uniformly to all four engine variants listed, meaning the 240,000 km / 120-month interval is not subject to any reduction based on engine type or drivetrain configuration within the specifications provided.
  • The presence of both a distance limit and a time limit in the same interval specification means whichever threshold is reached first would govern the service point, a standard dual-condition approach used when vehicles may accumulate low annual mileage.
