Additional Notes

  • The Leyland DAF 45 automatic transmission carries a fluid capacity of 12 liters across all three 45.160 (4x2) configurations covered in the specifications.
  • A 12-liter capacity in an automatic transmission of this class is consistent with a full service fill, meaning the volume required when refilling after a fluid drain rather than a complete overhaul involving torque converter removal.
  • The 45.160 (4x2) produced from 1991-1993 and the revised 45.160 (4x2) introduced from 1993 onward share an identical 12-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity, indicating no change in transmission fluid volume between those two production variants.
  • The 45.160 (4x2) Euro 2 variant, introduced from 1996, also carries the same 12-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity as the earlier 45.160 configurations, despite representing a distinct emissions-specification variant.
  • All three configurations list the use condition as normal, meaning the 12-liter capacity figure applies to standard operating conditions rather than a severe-duty service schedule.
