Vauxhall Ventora

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Vauxhall Ventora automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2,27 to 2,56 liters for service fills. Service intervals include checks every 10000 km or 3 months and changes every 20000 km or 6 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 Ventora FD (1967-1972) carries a service fill capacity of 2.27 liters for the automatic transmission, meaning the figure reflects the amount of fluid added during a routine service rather than a full drain and refill of the entire transmission assembly.
  • The FE generation (1972-1976) shows a slightly larger service fill capacity of 2.56 liters, representing an increase of 0.29 liters over the FD specification.
  • Both the FD and FE generations share identical check intervals of 10,000 km or 3 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The fluid change interval for both generations is set at 20,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions, placing the change cycle at exactly double the check interval in both distance and time terms.
  • The normal use condition applies to both the FD and FE specifications, meaning neither generation carries a separate severe-duty interval in the listed data.
