Additional Notes

  • The Iveco EuroCargo Tector CNG ML 120E(L)21 carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 20.2 liters, which applies equally to both the preferred and alternative normal use intervals.
  • Under the preferred normal use condition, the ML 120E(L)21 automatic transmission fluid change interval is set at 120,000 km, 36 months, or 3,000 hours, whichever comes first.
  • The alternative normal use interval for the ML 120E(L)21 drops significantly to 20,000 km, 6 months, or 500 hours, reflecting a considerably more frequent service schedule compared to the preferred specification.
  • The ML 160E21 variant introduces a retarder-dependent capacity split: initial fill reaches 30.2 liters when a retarder is present, while the figure falls to 28 liters without one, a difference of 2.2 liters attributable to the additional fluid volume the retarder circuit holds.
  • Under preferred normal use, the ML 160E21 carries a change interval of 240,000 km, 48 months, or 6,000 hours, which is double the distance and hours threshold of the ML 120E(L)21 preferred interval.
  • The alternative normal use interval for the ML 160E21 matches that of the ML 120E(L)21 exactly at 20,000 km, 6 months, or 500 hours, regardless of whether a retarder is fitted.
  • The capacity difference between the two variants is notable: the ML 160E21 holds between 28 and 30.2 liters compared to the 20.2 liters of the ML 120E(L)21, indicating a substantially larger transmission assembly in the higher-rated configuration.
