Additional Notes
- The Rover Maestro Van manual transmission fluid specifications cover a transaxle layout across all listed variants, meaning the gearbox and final drive share a common fluid reservoir rather than being serviced as separate units.
- The 500 1.3 and 700 1.3 variants share an identical 1.5-liter transaxle capacity, as do the 700 1.6 petrol variants, placing all three petrol configurations at the same service fill volume.
- The 700 2.0 D carries a notably higher transaxle fluid capacity of 2 liters, compared to the 1.5-liter figure common to the petrol variants, reflecting a physically larger or differently specified transaxle unit.
- All three petrol variants — the 500 1.3, 700 1.3, and 700 1.6 — share a single change interval of 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, with no separate inspection interval specified.
- The 700 2.0 D introduces a two-stage service schedule under normal use: a fluid level check at 20,000 km and a full fluid change at 40,000 km or 24 months. The check interval aligns with the full change interval of the petrol variants, while the drain-and-refill interval is double that figure.
- The 500 1.3 variant covers the 1986-1994 model years, while both 700-series variants span 1986-1997, meaning the 500 1.3 has a shorter production window within the same overall specification range.
