Additional Notes

  • All six Rover 600 variants listed carry a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2 liters. A transaxle combines the transmission and differential into a single housing, and a 2-liter fill is consistent with a compact front-wheel-drive unit of this type.
  • Five of the six variants — the 618i, 620 Di, 620Si, 620Ti, and 620i — share an identical check interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 623iS and GSi stand apart with a check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions. This is half the distance and half the time period specified for the other 600 variants, despite the same 2-liter capacity.
  • The 620i carries a production window of 1993-1995, making it the shortest-lived variant in the lineup. All other variants with a 20,000 km check interval run through 1999.
  • The 620Si and 623iS/GSi are the only variants with a starting year of 1993, meaning both were present from the earliest point in the Rover 600 range covered by these specifications.
  • The check interval for the 623iS and GSi aligns with a more frequent service cadence, which in manual transaxle applications is typically associated with higher-stress drivetrain use or a more performance-oriented engine pairing.
