Additional Notes

  • All configurations across the Acura Integra (USA / CAN) 1996-2001 range share a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2.2-2.3 liters, with the sole exception of the 1.8 Type R (DC2), which carries a slightly lower capacity of 2.1-2.2 liters. The reduced range on the Type R likely reflects a different gearbox unit specific to that performance variant.
  • The 2.2-2.3 liter capacity figure represents a service fill volume, meaning the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling the transaxle during a standard fluid change, rather than a full overhaul or rebuild quantity.
  • Canadian-market Integra models across all engine outputs — 106 kW, 125 kW, GS-R, and Type R — carry a uniform normal-use change interval of 60,000 km or 36 months for the manual transaxle fluid.
  • USA-market models under normal use conditions are specified at a significantly longer interval of 192,000 km or 72 months, which is more than three times the distance interval applied to the equivalent Canadian-market configurations.
  • For USA-market models operated under severe conditions, the manual transaxle fluid interval drops to 60,000 km or 36 months — the same interval applied to all Canadian-market normal-use configurations. Severe use typically encompasses conditions such as frequent towing, extended idling, or operation in extreme temperatures.
  • The 1.8 GS-R variant, available from 1997-2001 in both markets, follows the same capacity and interval structure as the 106 kW and 125 kW configurations, with no deviation in transaxle fluid specifications despite representing a higher-performance trim level.
  • The 1.8 Type R (DC2), also spanning 1997-2001, mirrors the market-based interval split seen in other configurations — 192,000 km / 72 months for USA normal use and 60,000 km / 36 months for both USA severe use and CAN normal use — while carrying the distinct 2.1-2.2 liter capacity range.
