Rover 200

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Rover 200 automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2 to 2,4 liters. Service intervals include 20000 km checks and 24 to 48 month or 40000 km changes. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Rover 200 213, S, E, and Vanden Plas variants from 1984-1989 carry a transaxle automatic fluid capacity of 2.4 liters, which is the highest capacity figure across all listed configurations and reflects the total service fill volume for that unit.
  • The 216 EFi, Vitesse, and Vanden Plas from 1985-1989 have a slightly lower transaxle capacity of 2.0 liters, making the difference between the 213-series and 216 EFi-series units 0.4 liters at service fill.
  • The 216 GSi 16V from 1989-1995 and the 216 GTi 16V Twin Cam from 1990-1995 share an identical transaxle automatic fluid capacity of 2.2 liters, placing both between the 213-series and 216 EFi-series figures.
  • The 213-series transaxle carries no listed fluid level check interval, whereas the three 216-series configurations all specify a check interval of 20,000 km, indicating a more active monitoring schedule for those units.
  • The 213-series change interval under normal use is set at 40,000 km or 48 months, which is a longer time-based threshold compared to the 24-month interval applied to all three 216-series configurations at the same 40,000 km distance marker.
  • All four configurations are classified under normal use conditions, and the change intervals stated apply specifically within that classification rather than under severe or other operating conditions.
  • The 216 GSi 16V and 216 GTi 16V Twin Cam share not only the same fluid capacity but also identical service intervals of 40,000 km or 24 months, despite the GTi variant featuring a twin-cam engine configuration that distinguishes the two mechanically.
