Additional Notes

  • The 1.1-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid used during a standard drain-and-refill procedure rather than a full overhaul or rebuild specification.
  • The capacity applies under normal use conditions, which in fluid service terminology refers to everyday driving as opposed to severe or high-stress operating environments.
