Additional Notes

  • The Dennis R-Type rear differential carries a fluid capacity of 19 liters across both the R 340 Euro 2 and R 405 Euro 2 configurations, a volume consistent with heavy-duty commercial axle housings rather than light vehicle differentials.
  • Under normal use conditions, the R 340 Euro 2 rear differential fluid change interval is set at 400,000 km or 36 months, whichever comes first, reflecting a long-life service schedule typical of commercial fleet operations.
  • The R 405 Euro 2 shares the same 400,000 km or 36-month change interval under normal use conditions, and the same 19-liter capacity as the R 340 Euro 2, indicating a common rear differential specification between the two engine variants for the 2000-2005 period.
  • A fluid level check interval of 10,000 km or 3 months under normal use conditions is specified for the R 340 Euro 2 rear differential, a separate and more frequent service action than the full fluid change, intended to monitor fluid condition and level between major service events. No equivalent check interval appears in the R 405 Euro 2 specifications.
