Additional Notes

  • The Cadillac Seville SLS and STS automatic transaxle specifications cover the 4.6 V8 32V engine across the 1997-2004 model range, with both trims sharing identical capacity and interval figures within each respective generation.
  • For the 1997-1999 SLS, a single capacity figure of 10.4 liters is listed without differentiation between dry fill, overhaul, or service fill values, indicating a simplified specification compared to later model years.
  • The 1997-1999 STS shares the same 10.4-liter capacity as the SLS but adds a fluid level check interval of every 15,000 km or 12 months, a detail absent from the SLS specification for the same period.
  • Both the SLS and STS carry a change interval of 60,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions for the 1997-1999 period, pairing the distance and time limits together as a combined threshold.
  • From the 2000 model year onward, the automatic transaxle specifications expand to three distinct capacity values: 14.2 liters for a dry fill, 12 liters for an overhaul, and 10.4 liters for a routine service fill. A dry fill applies when the unit is completely empty, such as after a full rebuild or replacement, while the service fill reflects the smaller volume needed when residual fluid remains in the torque converter and cooler lines.
  • The overhaul capacity of 12 liters sits between the dry fill and service fill figures, representing the volume required when the transmission is disassembled and reassembled but the torque converter retains some fluid.
  • The service fill value of 10.4 liters for the 2000-2004 generations is numerically identical to the single capacity figure listed for the 1997-1999 models, suggesting continuity in the routine top-up volume across the full production span covered by these specifications.
  • For the 2000-2004 SLS and STS under normal use, the change interval increases to 80,000 km with no accompanying month limit, a structural change from the dual km/month threshold used in the 1997-1999 specifications.
  • Under severe use conditions for the 2000-2004 SLS and STS, the change interval is listed at 160,000 km, exactly double the 80,000 km normal-use interval. Severe use classifications typically account for factors such as frequent towing, extended idling, or operation in extreme temperatures.
  • Both normal and severe use rows for the 2000-2004 period share the same annual fluid level check interval of 12 months, meaning the check frequency does not vary with use condition despite the significant difference in change intervals.
  • The 2003-2004 SLS and STS rows carry specifications identical to the 2000-2003 rows for both normal and severe use, indicating no change in capacity values or service intervals across that overlap period for either trim.
