Additional Notes

  • The Tata Safari 2.0 MPFi (2005-2007) and the 2.2 Diesel (DICOR) (2007-2015) share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.6 liters, placing both in the lower range among the configurations listed.
  • The Safari Storme 2.2 Diesel (103 kW) (2012-2015) and the 110 kW variant (2015-2020) both carry 2.2 liters of manual transmission fluid, a capacity step up from the earlier 1.6-liter figure seen in the 2.0 MPFi and DICOR models.
  • The Safari Storme 2.2 Diesel (115 kW) (2017-2020) holds the largest manual transmission fluid capacity across all listed configurations at 3 liters, which is notably higher than the 2.2-liter figure of the other Storme variants and suggests a physically larger or differently designed gearbox unit.
  • The Safari 2.0 TD (125 kW) DPF (2021- ) uses a transaxle rather than a standalone transmission, and holds 1.9 liters of fluid. A transaxle integrates the transmission and drive axle into a single housing, which accounts for the distinct component designation compared to the other configurations.
  • The 2.0 MPFi (2005-2007) specifies a first-change interval of 20,000 km, after which the normal-use change interval extends to 80,000 km. The early drain removes metal particles and manufacturing residues that accumulate during the gearbox break-in period.
  • The 2.2 Diesel (DICOR) (2007-2015) sets the first fluid change at 45,000 km under normal use, doubling the 20,000 km first-change interval of the earlier 2.0 MPFi. The subsequent normal change interval is 90,000 km for both configurations.
  • The Safari Storme 2.2 Diesel (103 kW) (2012-2015) mirrors the DICOR's intervals exactly, with a first change at 45,000 km and a normal change at 90,000 km, despite having a larger 2.2-liter fluid capacity.
  • The Safari Storme 2.2 Diesel (110 kW) (2015-2020) introduces a time-based dimension to the service schedule. The first change is due at 40,000 km or 24 months, and the normal change at 90,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first. Adding a time limit accounts for fluid degradation that occurs independently of mileage accumulation.
  • The Safari Storme 2.2 Diesel (115 kW) (2017-2020) shares the same km and month-based change intervals as the 110 kW variant — 40,000 km or 24 months for the first change, and 90,000 km or 48 months for normal use — despite the larger 3-liter fluid capacity.
  • Both the 110 kW and 115 kW Storme variants specify a fluid level check every 10,000 km alongside their change intervals. The 2.0 MPFi specifies a check every 5,000 km, while the 2.0 TD (125 kW) DPF specifies a check every 15,000 km or 12 months, the longest check interval among all listed configurations.
  • The 2.0 TD (125 kW) DPF (2021- ) lists no fluid change interval, only a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months. This contrasts with all other configurations, which specify at least one change interval.
