Additional Notes
- The Morris Isis Series II carries a dry fill capacity of 8.52 liters for the automatic transmission, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit, including fluid held within the torque converter and valve body passages.
- The service fill capacity of 5.7 liters is notably lower than the dry fill, representing only the fluid displaced during a routine drain where the torque converter retains a significant portion of the previous charge.
- The difference between the 8.52-liter dry fill and the 5.7-liter service fill amounts to approximately 2.82 liters, which is the volume that typically remains trapped in the torque converter during a standard service procedure.
- Both the Isis Saloon and Isis Traveller in Series II trim share identical automatic transmission fluid capacities and service intervals, indicating a common drivetrain specification across both body configurations for the 1956-1958 production period.
- Under normal use conditions, the automatic transmission fluid check interval is set at every 5,000 km, a relatively short monitoring cycle consistent with maintenance practices of mid-1950s automatic transmission technology.
- The fluid change interval under normal use is specified at 40,000 km, which represents the full drain-and-refill service at which the 5.7-liter service fill capacity would apply.
