Additional Notes

  • The Dennis R-Type R 340 Euro 2 manual transmission without an intarder holds 13 liters of fluid, which represents the standard service fill volume for that gearbox configuration.
  • When the R 340 Euro 2 is equipped with a manual transmission and intarder, the combined fluid capacity rises to 16 liters, reflecting the additional volume required by the intarder unit integrated into the drivetrain.
  • The same 13-liter and 16-liter capacity split between standard manual and manual-plus-intarder configurations also applies to the R 405 Euro 2, indicating a shared transmission architecture across both engine variants.
  • All four configurations share a 90,000 km fluid change interval under normal use conditions, applying equally to both the R 340 and R 405 Euro 2 engine variants regardless of whether an intarder is fitted.
  • The R 405 Euro 2 specifications include a fluid level check interval of every 10,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first, a detail absent from the R 340 Euro 2 entries. A time-based check interval of 3 months accounts for vehicles that accumulate mileage slowly and might otherwise go extended calendar periods between inspections.
  • The 3-liter difference between the standard manual (13 liters) and the manual-plus-intarder (16 liters) configurations is consistent across both the R 340 and R 405 Euro 2 variants, pointing to a fixed fluid volume associated with the intarder component itself.
