Additional Notes

  • The Land Rover Range Rover P38A/LP (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity is 2.4 liters across all three engine variants covered in the 1995-2002 range, meaning the same gearbox unit appears to be shared regardless of whether the engine is the 2.5 TDi diesel or either of the V8 petrol configurations.
  • A 2.4-liter fill volume is a relatively modest capacity for a manual transmission, consistent with a compact gearbox design rather than a heavy-duty unit requiring larger fluid volumes.
  • The check interval is set at 20,000 km for all three variants under normal use conditions, meaning fluid level inspections are scheduled at half the frequency of a full fluid change.
  • The fluid change interval is 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, applying equally to the 2.5 TDi, the V8 4.0, and the V8 4.6 under normal use conditions.
  • The 24-month time-based limit alongside the 40,000 km distance interval means that vehicles covering low annual mileage are still subject to a fluid change on a calendar basis, preventing extended use of aged fluid regardless of distance traveled.
  • The identical capacity and service intervals across the diesel and both V8 petrol engines indicate no differentiation in transmission servicing requirements based on engine output or fuel type within the P38A/LP (EU) specification.
