Additional Notes
- The Vauxhall Sintra manual transaxle holds 1.8 liters of fluid, a figure that reflects a service fill level rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill capacity, meaning the transmission is already partially filled when this volume is referenced during routine maintenance.
- Both the 2.2 petrol and the 2.2 DTi 16V diesel variants share an identical manual transaxle fluid capacity of 1.8 liters, indicating a common transmission unit across the two engine configurations despite their differing powertrains.
- The service interval for the manual transaxle fluid is a check at every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions, meaning the interval applies to standard driving rather than demanding or high-stress operating environments.
- The 2.2 DTi 16V variant entered the specification range from 1997, one year after the 2.2 petrol, yet both share the same 15,000 km or 12-month check interval under normal use conditions for the manual transaxle.
