Additional Notes

  • The Land Rover Range Rover P38A/LP (USA) V8 4.6 carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 11 liters, which is notably higher than the 9.7-liter capacity specified for the V8 4.0. A larger fluid volume in an automatic transmission typically reflects a greater number of clutch packs, a larger torque converter, or a more complex valve body requiring additional fluid to maintain hydraulic pressure.
  • The 9.7-liter capacity listed for the V8 4.0 represents a service fill figure, meaning the amount of fluid required when servicing the transmission without a full teardown. A full overhaul capacity would generally exceed this value, as residual fluid remains in the torque converter and passages during a standard drain-and-fill procedure.
  • The same logic applies to the V8 4.6, where the 11-liter figure reflects a service fill rather than a total system capacity. The difference between the two engine variants suggests the V8 4.6 is paired with a transmission configuration that holds a meaningfully larger fluid volume under normal service conditions.
  • Both the V8 4.0 and V8 4.6 share a 30,000-mile change interval under normal use conditions. In automatic transmission service, a normal-use interval assumes moderate operating temperatures, standard towing loads, and typical driving cycles, as opposed to severe conditions such as frequent towing, extreme heat, or stop-and-go traffic.
  • The V8 4.0 specification covers model years 1995-2000, while the V8 4.6 specification extends through 1995-2002. Despite the difference in production span, both engine variants carry the same 30,000-mile service interval under normal use.
