Additional Notes

  • The Vauxhall Grandland X 1.2 Turbo (96 kW) carries a dry fill capacity of 1.9 liters and a service fill capacity of 1.8 liters for the manual transaxle, a difference of 0.1 liters that reflects the small volume of fluid retained in the unit during a routine drain.
  • Dry fill and service fill values differ because a dry fill accounts for a completely empty transmission, such as after a full rebuild or replacement, while a service fill assumes residual fluid remains in passages and cavities after draining.
  • The 1.2 Turbo (96 kW) manual transaxle specifications are identical across the 2018-2020 and 2020-2021 production periods, with both showing 1.9 liters dry and 1.8 liters service fill.
  • The Grandland X 1.5 Diesel (96 kW) manual transaxle has a notably higher dry fill capacity of 2.2 liters compared to its service fill of 1.9 liters, a gap of 0.3 liters, indicating a larger volume of fluid held in the unit when fully drained for overhaul.
  • The 1.5 Diesel (96 kW) specifications are consistent across the 2018-2020 and 2020-2021 model year ranges, with dry fill at 2.2 liters and service fill at 1.9 liters in both periods.
  • The Grandland X 1.5 Diesel (75 kW) specifies a capacity range of 1.7 to 1.8 liters without separate dry and service fill distinctions, suggesting a single fill figure applies with a tolerance band rather than two defined fill scenarios.
  • The Grandland X 1.6 Diesel (88 kW) presents an unusual relationship between fill types: the service fill of 2.2 liters exceeds the dry fill of 1.9 liters, which is the reverse of the pattern seen in other Grandland X manual transaxle entries.
  • All six manual transaxle entries across the Grandland X range are classified under normal use conditions, meaning the stated capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • Across the petrol and diesel variants, dry fill capacities range from 1.9 liters in the 1.2 Turbo to 2.2 liters in the 1.5 Diesel (96 kW), reflecting differences in transaxle design and internal volume between the two engine families.
