Additional Notes

  • The Opel Crossland 1.2 (60 kW) has a dry fill capacity of 2.1 liters and a service fill capacity of 1.9 liters. The dry fill figure applies when the transaxle is completely empty, such as after a full overhaul or unit replacement, while the service fill figure reflects the smaller volume needed when residual fluid remains in the housing during a routine drain and refill.
  • The 1.2 Turbo variants at both 81 kW and 96 kW share identical capacity figures, with a dry fill of 1.9 liters and a service fill of 1.8 liters. The naturally aspirated 1.2 (60 kW) requires a notably higher dry fill of 2.1 liters, indicating a physically larger transaxle assembly in that configuration.
  • Across the 1.2 Turbo 81 kW and 96 kW variants, the difference between dry fill and service fill is 0.1 liters. In the naturally aspirated 1.2 (60 kW), the gap between dry and service fill is 0.2 liters, suggesting a greater volume of fluid is retained in the housing after draining on that unit.
  • The 1.5 Diesel (81 kW) covering model years 2020-2023 carries a use condition of "filled for life," meaning the transaxle fluid is not designated for periodic replacement under normal service schedules. A capacity range of 1.7-1.8 liters is specified rather than separate dry and service fill values, which aligns with the sealed, non-serviceable nature of a filled-for-life unit.
  • All four configurations are classified as transaxle, manual, meaning the gearbox and final drive share a common fluid reservoir. The capacity values listed therefore cover the combined volume of both the transmission and differential sections within a single housing.
  • The three petrol variants all carry a normal use condition, under which the listed service fill capacities apply. The 1.5 Diesel stands apart with a filled-for-life designation, placing it in a different service category from the petrol-engined models despite sharing the same transaxle classification.
