Rolls-Royce Phantom, RR1
Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval
Rolls-Royce Phantom and RR1 utilize automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 8,5 to 9 liters. Service intervals require checks every 24 months or 30000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

Additional Notes
- The Rolls-Royce Phantom RR1 automatic transmission carries two distinct capacity figures across the 2002-2017 model years: 9 liters and 8.5 liters, both listed under normal use conditions.
- A 9-liter fill capacity on an automatic transmission typically corresponds to a full overhaul or complete drain, where the torque converter and all internal passages are emptied and refilled entirely.
- The 8.5-liter figure represents a service fill, which accounts for residual fluid retained in the torque converter and valve body during a standard transmission service without full disassembly.
- The 0.5-liter difference between the two capacity values is consistent with the volume of fluid that remains trapped in the torque converter when a drain-and-fill procedure is performed rather than a complete rebuild or converter replacement.
- The inspection interval for the Phantom RR1 automatic transmission fluid is set at 24 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
- A 30,000 km check interval on automatic transmission fluid is relatively conservative by general automotive standards, reflecting the precision tolerances and fluid sensitivity associated with the ZF-sourced gearbox used in the Phantom RR1.
