Additional Notes

  • The Opel Speedster E01 manual transmission fluid specifications cover a transaxle layout across both available engine variants, meaning the gearbox is integrated with the differential and positioned at the rear axle rather than inline with the engine.
  • The 2.0 16V Turbo, produced from 2003-2005, carries a transaxle fluid capacity of 1.75 liters under normal use conditions.
  • The 2.2 16V, produced from 2001-2005, carries a slightly higher transaxle fluid capacity of 1.8 liters under normal use conditions, a difference of 0.05 liters compared to the turbocharged variant.
  • Both capacity figures represent a service fill volume, which is the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling the unit during a standard fluid change rather than a full overhaul with complete disassembly.
  • Both engine variants share the same normal use condition designation, meaning the listed capacities and intervals apply to standard driving rather than severe or track-oriented operating conditions.
