Additional Notes

  • The Opel Zafira Life K0 1.5 Diesel variants, covering engine codes YHR and YHV, share identical manual transaxle fluid capacities: 1.8 liters for a dry fill and 1.7 liters for a service fill. The 0.1-liter difference between dry and service fill reflects the small volume of fluid that remains in the transmission after a drain, meaning a routine fluid change requires slightly less fluid than filling a completely empty unit.
  • The 2.0 Diesel variants across engine codes EHS, EHT, AHX, and AHK introduce a more complex capacity structure tied to the oil pan design. Two distinct carter configurations are specified: one with ribs and one without ribs, each producing different fill volumes.
  • On the 2.0 Diesel manual transaxle with a ribbed oil pan, the dry fill capacity is 2.2 liters and the service fill capacity is 1.9 liters. The 0.3-liter difference between these two values is consistent with the residual fluid retained after draining during a routine service.
  • The 2.0 Diesel transaxle fitted with an oil pan without ribs carries notably higher capacities: 2.9 liters for a dry fill and 2.6 liters for a service fill. The ribless pan design accommodates a larger fluid volume, with the dry fill exceeding the ribbed-pan dry fill by 0.7 liters.
  • Across all six configurations, the specifications apply exclusively to normal use conditions. No severe-use intervals or alternative service schedules are listed for any of the 1.5 or 2.0 Diesel manual transaxle entries.
  • The 1.5 Diesel engine code YHV appears across two separate year ranges: 2019-2020 and 2020-2022. Both entries carry identical capacity figures, indicating no change in transaxle fluid specification for that engine code across the production period covered.
  • The capacity gap between the 1.5 Diesel and 2.0 Diesel transaxles is substantial. The 1.5 Diesel service fill of 1.7 liters compares to a range of 1.9 to 2.6 liters for the 2.0 Diesel depending on oil pan type, reflecting the larger physical size of the transmission unit paired with the higher-displacement engine.
