Additional Notes

  • Across the Renault Grand Espace III J66 manual transmission lineup, the transaxle fluid capacity holds at 2.7 liters for the 2.0 16V and 2.2 dCi engine variants, indicating a consistent transaxle unit shared between those configurations.
  • The 2.2 dT variant, covering 1998-2000, carries a slightly lower transaxle capacity of 2.6 liters, distinguishing the older turbodiesel unit from the later dCi and petrol counterparts.
  • A transaxle design combines the transmission and differential into a single housing, meaning the 2.7-liter and 2.6-liter figures represent the total fluid volume for that integrated assembly rather than a standalone gearbox.
  • The 2.0 16V for 1998-2001 specifies a check interval of 48 months or 60,000 km under normal use conditions, which is a notably extended interval compared to other configurations in the same model range.
  • For the 2.0 16V covering 2001-2002, the check interval tightens considerably to 24 months or 30,000 km under normal use, halving both the time and distance thresholds relative to the earlier 1998-2001 specification for the same engine.
  • The 2.2 dCi for 2001-2002 shares the 24-month or 30,000 km check interval under normal use, aligning with the revised 2.0 16V interval introduced in the same period.
  • The 2.2 dT for 1998-2000 also carries the 24-month or 30,000 km check interval under normal use, meaning the earlier turbodiesel was held to a more frequent service schedule than the 1998-2001 petrol variant despite both being in production during overlapping years.
  • The 2.2 dCi for 2000-2001 lists only a capacity figure of 2.7 liters with no check interval specified, making the fill volume the sole service reference available for that particular configuration.
