Vauxhall Viva

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Vauxhall Viva automatic transmission fluid capacity is 2,6 liters. Service intervals include checks every 10000 km or 3 months and changes every 24 months or 40000 hours. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Vauxhall Viva HC automatic transmission service fill capacity is 2.6 liters across the 1.3, 1.8, and 2.3 engine variants for the 1972-1979 model years.
  • A service fill capacity, as opposed to a total overhaul fill, represents the volume of fluid added during a routine drain-and-refill service, which typically does not account for fluid retained in the torque converter and valve body.
  • The 2.6-liter service fill figure is consistent across all three engine displacements in the HC generation, indicating no variation in automatic transmission fluid capacity between the 1.3, 1.8, and 2.3 configurations.
  • The fluid check interval is specified at 10,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The fluid change interval is set at 24 months or 40,000 hours under normal use conditions, applying equally to the 1.3, 1.8, and 2.3 variants.
  • The 40,000-hour figure within the change interval specification is an unusually high value in the context of standard distance or time-based service schedules, and in practice the 24-month calendar interval would be reached far sooner under typical driving conditions.
