AMC Eagle

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

AMC Eagle manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,7 to 1,9 liters. Service intervals include checks at 6000 km/4 months, 12000 km/7 months, and 48000 km/30 months, as well as fluid changes at 24000 km/15 months and 48000 km/30 months. The data covers 10 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The AMC Eagle manual transmission specifications list two distinct capacity figures across configurations: 1.7 liters and 1.9 liters. In manual transmission service, a lower figure typically reflects a service-level fill, while a higher figure may correspond to a full overhaul or dry fill capacity.
  • Both the 151 and 258 engine configurations for 1981-1983 carry the same dual capacity entries of 1.7 liters and 1.9 liters, paired with an identical check interval of 48,000 km or 30 months under normal use conditions.
  • The 1984-1985 model years retain the same dual capacity values and the 48,000 km / 30-month check interval for both the 151 and 258 engine configurations, mirroring the structure of the earlier 1981-1983 entries.
  • The 151 engine configuration does not appear in the specifications beyond 1985, while the 258 engine configuration extends through 1988, making the 258 the only engine represented in the later model year data.
  • For the 258 engine in 1986-1988 under normal use, the specifications introduce a separate check interval of 12,000 km or 7 months alongside a distinct change interval of 48,000 km or 30 months. Earlier model years list only a check interval with no separate change interval entry.
  • The 1986-1988 258 configuration is the only one in the dataset to carry a severe use condition entry. Under severe use, the check interval shortens to 6,000 km or 4 months, and the change interval is set at 24,000 km or 15 months, exactly half the distances and roughly half the time frames of the normal use intervals.
  • The 1.9-liter capacity figure appears consistently across all engine configurations and model years from 1981 through 1988, while the 1.7-liter figure is present only through 1985 and does not appear in the 1986-1988 258 entries.
