Additional Notes

  • The Renault Magnum E.Tech (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity is 10 liters across the E.Tech 400, E.Tech 440, and E.Tech 480 engine variants for the 2000-2005 model years, indicating a consistent base transmission fill volume regardless of power output rating.
  • When an intarder is fitted alongside the manual transmission, the fluid capacity rises to 12 liters across all three engine variants — the E.Tech 400, 440, and 480 — reflecting the additional fluid volume the intarder unit requires within the shared system.
  • The 2-liter difference between the standard manual transmission capacity and the manual-plus-intarder configuration applies uniformly across the 2000-2005 range, meaning the intarder accounts for the same incremental fluid demand regardless of which engine variant is installed.
  • All six configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 10-liter and 12-liter capacities are associated with standard operating conditions rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only service scenario.
  • No variation in base transmission fluid capacity exists between the E.Tech 400, E.Tech 440, and E.Tech 480 for the 2000-2005 period, as all three share the same 10-liter fill for the standalone manual transmission configuration.
