Additional Notes

  • The Triumph 1500 TC carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 5 liters, with an additional allowance noted for an oil cooler, meaning the total fill volume during a full service will exceed the base 5-liter figure depending on cooler line volume.
  • The 5-liter figure represents a service fill capacity rather than a dry or overhaul fill, as overhaul capacities typically account for the full internal volume of the transmission including the torque converter, which would push the total higher than a routine drain-and-fill measurement.
  • The oil cooler addition noted alongside the 5-liter capacity indicates the Triumph 1500 TC's automatic transmission was equipped with an external cooling circuit, which retains a separate fluid volume that must be accounted for during a complete fluid change.
  • The specified check interval for automatic transmission fluid on the 1500 TC is 10,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning the interval applies to standard operating environments rather than elevated-stress or high-cycle driving situations.
