Additional Notes

  • The Opel Meriva A (X03) automatic transmission fluid specifications cover four configurations across the 2003-2010 model range, all sharing a semi-automatic transaxle unit.
  • Every listed configuration carries a fluid capacity of 1.6 liters, applying equally to both the 1.6 16V and 1.8 16V engine variants across all covered model years.
  • A 1.6-liter fill capacity is characteristic of a compact semi-automatic transaxle, reflecting the relatively small fluid volume these units require compared to conventional fully automatic transmissions, which often hold 6-10 liters or more.
  • The 1.6 16V and 1.8 16V variants share an identical 1.6-liter capacity figure, indicating no differentiation in transmission fluid volume between the two engine displacements despite the difference in output.
  • All four configurations are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the 1.6-liter capacity figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • The specifications are divided into two generational periods, 2003-2006 and 2006-2010, for both the 1.6 16V and 1.8 16V, yet the fluid capacity remains unchanged across both periods within each engine variant.
