Additional Notes

  • The London Taxi Company TX manual transmission fluid capacity varies across variants, ranging from 1.3 liters in the TXII (2002-2006) to 2 liters in the TXI (1997-2002), and up to 3 liters across all TX4 configurations.
  • The 3-liter capacity shared by the TX4 2.4 (2013-2016), TX4 Euro 4 (2006-2012), and TX4 Euro 5 (2012-2015) represents a service fill volume, meaning the amount of fluid required to bring the transmission to its correct operating level during a standard service.
  • All three TX4 variants share an identical normal-use service structure: a fluid level check at 10,000 miles and a full fluid change at 60,000 miles.
  • A first-change-only interval exists for both the TX4 2.4 and the TX4 Euro 5, each specifying a fluid change at 12,000 miles. A first change is an early drain performed once to remove manufacturing residues and metal particles from initial wear before returning to the standard change schedule.
  • The TX4 Euro 4 also carries a first-change-only interval, but at 10,000 miles rather than the 12,000 miles specified for the TX4 2.4 and TX4 Euro 5, making the Euro 4 the earliest first-change point among the TX4 variants.
  • The TXI (1997-2002) uses a metric-based service schedule, with a fluid check at 15,000 km and a change at 30,000 km, and holds a 2-liter capacity.
  • The TXII (2002-2006) carries the smallest manual transmission fluid capacity in the range at 1.3 liters, and its normal-use specification includes only a check interval at 15,000 km with no change interval listed.
