Additional Notes

  • The Iveco Ford Cargo EL (4x2) manual transmission fluid specifications cover the 120EL variants across the 1998-2001 model years, with capacity figures that reflect standard service fill volumes for commercial vehicle gearboxes.
  • The 120EL 15 and 120EL 18 share a 5.5-liter capacity in one of the listed configurations, indicating a common gearbox unit across those two power variants under normal use conditions.
  • The 120EL 18 carries two separate capacity entries — 5.5 liters and 5 liters — suggesting two distinct transmission units were fitted to the same variant, each with a different fluid volume requirement under normal use conditions.
  • The 120EL 21 also carries two capacity entries: 9 liters and 5 liters. The 9-liter figure is notably higher than all other entries in the range, which is consistent with a larger or heavier-duty gearbox assembly typically associated with higher-output commercial drivetrains.
  • The 5-liter capacity appears across both the 120EL 18 and 120EL 21 under normal use conditions, pointing to at least one shared transmission option between those two variants despite their differing power outputs.
  • All listed configurations are specified under normal use conditions, meaning the capacity figures apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or extended-service scenarios.
  • No service interval mileage or time values are present in the specifications, so the data is limited to fluid capacity figures for each transmission configuration.
