Additional Notes

  • All six configurations listed for the Renault Espace II J63 share a uniform check interval of 20,000 km and a change interval of 50,000 km under normal use conditions, applied to the transaxle manual transmission.
  • The 2.0 and 2.1 dT variants carry a transaxle fluid capacity of 2.2 liters, while the 2.2i and 2.2i Quadra variants require 2.4 liters, reflecting a difference tied to the specific transaxle unit fitted rather than engine displacement alone.
  • The 2.2i Quadra, which features four-wheel drive, shares the same 2.4-liter transaxle capacity as the front-wheel-drive 2.2i, indicating the listed capacity covers the front transaxle unit in both cases.
  • The 2.85 V6i carries the largest transaxle fluid capacity in the lineup at 3.0 liters, consistent with the greater torque output of a V6 engine typically requiring a more robust transmission assembly with higher fluid volume.
  • The 2.85 V6i appears across two separate year ranges, 1991-1993 and 1993-1996, both specifying an identical 3.0-liter capacity with the same check and change intervals, suggesting a mid-production revision that did not alter the transmission fluid specification.
  • A transaxle layout, as noted across all rows, integrates the transmission and final drive into a single housing, which means the stated capacities cover the combined fluid volume for both functions rather than a standalone gearbox.
  • The 50,000 km change interval applies under normal use conditions. In transmission service terminology, normal use generally refers to standard road driving without sustained heavy loads, frequent towing, or extreme temperature exposure.
  • The 20,000 km check interval across all configurations serves as a periodic inspection point well ahead of the full change interval, allowing fluid level and condition to be assessed without a complete drain and refill.
