Challenger 1000 series

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Challenger 1000 series uses automatic transmission fluid with a capacity of 90 liters. Service intervals include checking at 100 hours and changing at 1000 hours or 12 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • All transaxle configurations across the 1038 Gen2, 1042 Gen2, 1046 Gen2, and 1050 Gen2 models maintain a uniform service fill capacity of 90 liters for automatic transmission fluid.
  • Fluid condition checks occur at 100-hour intervals across all transaxle variants, establishing a baseline monitoring schedule independent of seasonal or usage pattern changes.
  • Automatic transmission fluid replacement follows a dual-criterion schedule of 1000 hours or 12 months, whichever arrives first, applied uniformly across all four Gen2 transaxle types under normal use conditions.
  • The 90-liter capacity represents a substantial fluid volume, indicating a large-displacement transaxle system requiring significant fluid reserves for cooling, lubrication, and hydraulic pressure maintenance across all engine configurations.
