Bedford CF 2

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Bedford CF 2 uses automatic transmission fluid with a capacity of 2,5 liters. Service intervals occur every 45000 km or 36 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
CF 2 2.0 (1984-1988)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2,5 liter
  • Change 45000 km/ 36 months
CF 2 2.3 D (1984-1988)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2,5 liter
  • Change 45000 km/ 36 months

Additional Notes

  • Both the CF 2 2.0 and the CF 2 2.3 D share an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 2.5 liters, which is consistent with a service fill figure rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill volume.
  • The 2.5-liter capacity applies under normal use conditions, meaning the figure reflects routine fluid changes rather than a worst-case or severe-duty scenario.
  • The Bedford CF 2 automatic transmission service interval is set at 45,000 km or 36 months, whichever comes first, across both the 2.0 petrol and 2.3 D diesel variants for the 1984-1988 period.
  • The 36-month time limit on the service interval means that even low-mileage vehicles reaching three years of use would fall due for an automatic transmission fluid change regardless of distance traveled.
  • No variation in either capacity or service interval exists between the 2.0 and the 2.3 D configurations, despite the difference in engine type between a petrol and a diesel unit.
