Additional Notes

  • The Renault Espace II 2.2i Quadra rear differential holds 1.2 liters, which is a notably larger capacity than the 0.8-liter figure associated with the 2.85 V6i differential. The difference reflects the distinct mechanical designs of the two drivetrain configurations rather than a service fill versus overhaul distinction.
  • The 2.2i Quadra rear differential carries a check interval of 60,000 km under normal use conditions, placing fluid inspection on a relatively long cycle compared to the 2.85 V6i differential.
  • The 2.85 V6i differential, noted as being from the automatic transmission, has a check interval of 10,000 km under normal use conditions. No fluid change interval is specified for normal use, only the inspection cycle.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2.85 V6i differential retains the same 0.8-liter capacity and 10,000 km check interval, but adds a fluid change interval of 50,000 km. The severe condition entry is the only row across the three specifications that includes an explicit change interval.
  • Both the normal and severe use rows for the 2.85 V6i share identical capacity and check interval values, meaning the distinction between the two use conditions affects only whether a fluid change interval applies, not the volume of fluid involved.
  • The 2.2i Quadra specification covers model years 1991-1996, while the 2.85 V6i entries apply to 1993-1996, indicating the V6i drivetrain entered the Espace II lineup partway through the generation's production span.
