Additional Notes

  • The Renault Ares (EU) 'ACE' variant in M/41 configuration carries two distinct manual transmission fluid capacities: 8.5 liters and 11 liters, both applicable under normal use conditions.
  • A capacity difference of 2.5 liters between the two M/41 figures typically reflects different fill points within the same transmission family, such as a service fill level versus a full overhaul or dry-fill volume.
  • The R/41 configuration mirrors the M/41 exactly in both capacity values, listing 8.5 liters and 11 liters under normal use conditions across the 1999-2003 model years.
  • All four specification rows share a 12-month change interval tied to normal use conditions, meaning fluid replacement is time-based rather than mileage-based for both the M/41 and R/41 configurations.
  • The designation difference between M/41 and R/41 within the 'ACE' variant likely denotes a mechanical or ratio distinction within the transmission lineup, yet both share identical fluid capacity and service interval specifications.
