Rover 45

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Rover 45 automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 4 to 4,5 liters. Service intervals include checking every 25000 km or 12 months, changing every 50000 km or 24 months, checking every 50000 km or 24 months, and changing every 100000 km or 48 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Rover 45 1.8 16V carries an automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 4.5 liters, while the 2.0 V6 24V holds 4 liters, reflecting a difference of 0.5 liters between the two engine configurations across the 1999-2005 model range.
  • Both capacities listed represent service fill figures for a transaxle unit, meaning the fluid volume accounts for the combined transmission and differential assembly rather than a standalone gearbox.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1.8 16V automatic transaxle is specified for a fluid check interval of 25,000 km or 12 months, which is half the check interval assigned to the 2.0 V6 24V at 50,000 km or 24 months.
  • The change interval for the 1.8 16V under normal use is set at 50,000 km or 24 months, again half the figure applied to the 2.0 V6 24V, where the change interval reaches 100,000 km or 48 months.
  • The 100,000 km or 48-month change interval on the Rover 45 2.0 V6 24V automatic transaxle is notably extended compared to the 1.8 16V, indicating a meaningfully different service schedule between the two engine variants despite sharing the same model and production years.
