Vauxhall Tigra, S93

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Vauxhall Tigra S93 manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,6 to 1,8 liters. Service intervals require checks every 15000 km or 12 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Vauxhall Tigra S93 manual transaxle fluid capacities differ between the two available engine variants, with the 1.4i-16V requiring 1.6 liters and the 1.6i-16V requiring 1.8 liters.
  • Both figures represent service fill volumes for the manual transaxle unit, meaning the quantity of fluid needed during a standard fluid level check or top-up procedure rather than a full overhaul drain-and-refill.
  • The 0.2-liter difference between the 1.4i-16V and 1.6i-16V transaxle capacities reflects a physical distinction between the two gearbox assemblies, as larger-displacement engines are commonly paired with transmissions of greater internal volume.
  • Both engine variants across the 1994-2000 production span share an identical check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever occurs first, under normal use conditions.
  • The 15,000 km or 12-month interval is tied specifically to a fluid level check rather than a full fluid replacement, meaning the service action at each interval is inspection and top-up as needed rather than a complete drain.
  • Normal use conditions apply to both the 1.4i-16V and 1.6i-16V specifications, indicating the stated intervals are not adjusted for demanding driving environments such as towing or frequent short-distance operation.
