The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
F90 42.422 VFS (8x4) (1994-1996)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 39 liter
  • Code: ZF 16S-221 + WSK 400 16/2
F90 42.502 VFS (8x4) (1994-1996)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 39 liter
  • Code: ZF 16S-221 + WSK 400 16/2

Additional Notes

  • Both configurations listed — the F90 42.422 VFS and the F90 42.502 VFS — carry a transmission fluid capacity of 39 liters, applying to the semi-automatic transmission unit across the 1994-1996 model years.
  • A 39-liter capacity is characteristic of a full system fill for a large semi-automatic transmission, encompassing the gearbox housing, torque converter, and associated hydraulic circuits rather than a partial service drain-and-fill quantity.
  • The capacity figure of 39 liters is specified under normal use conditions, meaning the interval and volume apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • The MAN F90 42.422 VFS and 42.502 VFS share identical transmission fluid capacities despite differing in their gross vehicle weight ratings, as reflected in the numerical designations within each variant name.
