Additional Notes

  • All 4.2-liter configurations across 2002-2004 share a uniform transaxle service fill capacity of 4.7 liters, applying equally to both the standard and AWD variants.
  • The Oldsmobile Bravada 4.3 V6 (1991) carries two distinct capacity figures: a 10-liter overhaul capacity representing the total fluid volume of a fully disassembled and rebuilt transmission, and a 4.75-liter service fill representing the amount added during a routine fluid change with the torque converter remaining in place.
  • For the 4.3 V6 in 1992-1995, the overhaul capacity decreased slightly to 9.9 liters while the service fill dropped to 4.7 liters, a minor reduction from the 1991 figures.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 4.3 V6 in both 1991 and 1992-1995 carries a 15,000-mile change interval. No change interval is listed for normal use in either period, meaning only the severe condition triggers a mileage-based service requirement in those rows.
  • The 2002-2003 Bravada 4.2 and 4.2 AWD share identical interval structures: 100,000 miles under normal use and 50,000 miles under severe use, with no time-based check interval specified for either condition.
  • The 2004 Bravada 4.2 and 4.2 AWD introduce a flexible (max) use condition that adds a 22-month check interval alongside the mileage-based change interval, a structure absent from the 2002-2003 rows.
  • Under the severe, flexible (max) condition for the 2004 4.2 and 4.2 AWD, the change interval is halved to 50,000 miles compared to the 100,000-mile interval under flexible (max) alone, while the 22-month check interval remains the same in both cases.
  • The shift from a "transmission, automatic" designation in the 4.3 V6 rows to a "transaxle, automatic" designation in the 4.2 rows reflects a difference in drivetrain architecture between the earlier and later Bravada configurations covered in these specifications.
