Additional Notes

  • The Vauxhall Vivaro C, K0 manual transaxle specifications cover two distinct engine families: the 1.5-litre diesel variants and the 2.0-litre diesel variants, each with different fluid capacity requirements.
  • Both 1.5-litre diesel engines, the 75 kW YHR and the 88 kW YHV, share identical transaxle fluid capacities: 1.8 litres for a dry fill and 1.7 litres for a service fill. The 0.1-litre difference between dry and service fill reflects the small residual volume of fluid that remains in the transaxle during a routine drain, meaning a full service refill requires slightly less fluid than filling a completely empty unit.
  • All three 2.0-litre diesel variants, the 106 kW EHS/EHT, the 110 kW AHX, and the 90 kW AHK, share the same set of transaxle fluid capacities, which vary depending on the oil pan configuration rather than the engine power output.
  • For the 2.0-litre diesel transaxle, the carter or oil pan design determines the correct fill volume. A ribbed oil pan takes 2.2 litres on a dry fill and 1.9 litres on a service fill, while an oil pan without ribs takes 2.9 litres on a dry fill and 2.6 litres on a service fill. Selecting the wrong capacity based on an incorrect pan identification would result in either overfilling or underfilling the transaxle.
  • The dry fill capacity for the 2.0-litre transaxle with a ribbed oil pan, at 2.2 litres, is notably lower than the 2.9-litre dry fill required for the non-ribbed pan variant. The structural ribbing on the pan reduces internal volume, which directly accounts for the 0.7-litre difference between the two configurations.
  • Across both the 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre engine families, all manual transaxle fluid specifications are listed under normal use conditions, meaning the stated capacities and service parameters apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • The 2.0-litre 110 kW AHX engine covers the 2019-2021 model years, while the 2.0-litre 90 kW AHK and 106 kW EHS/EHT engines have a start year of 2020 and 2019 respectively. Despite the differing production periods, all three share the same transaxle fluid capacity specifications.
