Additional Notes

  • The Vauxhall Meriva A (X03) automatic transmission fluid capacity is 1.6 liters across all four listed configurations, covering both the 1.6 16V and 1.8 16V engine variants across the 2003-2010 model range.
  • A 1.6-liter fill quantity is consistent with a service-level top-up or partial fluid exchange rather than a full overhaul drain, where total system volume would typically be higher.
  • All four configurations identify the transmission as a transaxle unit with a semi-automatic designation, meaning the gearbox and final drive share a common housing in a front-wheel-drive layout with automated clutch actuation rather than a conventional torque converter.
  • The 1.6 16V and 1.8 16V engines share an identical 1.6-liter fluid capacity, indicating the semi-automatic transaxle unit is common between the two engine displacements rather than being engine-specific.
  • The 2003-2006 and 2006-2010 production splits for both engine variants carry the same 1.6-liter capacity, meaning the mid-cycle revision around 2006 introduced no change to the transmission fluid fill specification.
  • All listed configurations carry a normal use condition, meaning the 1.6-liter capacity figure applies under standard operating circumstances rather than severe-duty or first-fill scenarios.
