Additional Notes

  • The Vauxhall Zafira A (T98) automatic transmission fluid capacity is 3 liters across all listed engine variants, covering the 1.8-16V from 1999-2005 and the 2.2-16V from 2001-2005. A 3-liter figure for a transaxle service fill is consistent with a partial drain-and-refill procedure rather than a full overhaul capacity, which would typically be higher.
  • All three configurations share an identical service interval of 60,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions. The 48-month time limit means the fluid is due for a change after four years regardless of mileage accumulated.
  • The 1.8-16V engine spans two separate specification entries: one covering 1999-2000 and another covering 2001-2005. Both entries carry the same 3-liter capacity and the same 60,000 km / 48-month interval, indicating no revision to the automatic transmission fluid specification occurred between those two production periods for that engine.
  • The 2.2-16V variant, listed for 2001-2005, shares the same transaxle automatic configuration and identical fluid capacity and change interval as the 1.8-16V. Despite the difference in engine displacement, the transmission service requirements are uniform across both engine types in the lineup.
  • All specifications are designated for normal use conditions. No severe-use interval is listed for any of the three configurations, meaning the 60,000 km / 48-month schedule applies solely under standard operating conditions as defined by the manufacturer.
