TVR Cerbera

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

TVR Cerbera manual transmission fluid capacity is 2 liters. Service intervals require a check every 20000 km. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The TVR Cerbera manual transmission fluid capacity is 2 liters across all three engine variants — the 4.0, 4.2, and 4.5 — a figure that reflects a service fill rather than a full overhaul drain, as overhaul procedures typically account for fluid retained in internal passages and components.
  • The 4.2 variant carries a production start year of 1994, making it the earliest of the three engine configurations listed, while the 4.0 enters the range from 1998 and the 4.5 from 1996.
  • All three engine variants share an identical check interval of 20,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning the interval applies to routine driving rather than demanding or high-stress operating environments.
  • The uniform 2-liter capacity across the 4.0, 4.2, and 4.5 engines suggests a common gearbox unit is used regardless of engine displacement, as differing transmissions would typically produce variation in fluid volume requirements.
  • The specification is defined as a check interval rather than a change interval, meaning the 20,000 km figure represents the point at which fluid level and condition are to be inspected, not necessarily replaced.
