Additional Notes

  • The Chevrolet Captiva (USA / CAN) automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 8.12 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit, such as after a full overhaul or replacement.
  • The service fill capacity of 5 liters is notably lower than the dry fill figure, reflecting the volume retained in the torque converter and passages during a standard drain-and-fill service where the unit remains in the vehicle.
  • Both the 2.4 VVT and 2.4 VVT FlexFuel configurations share identical dry and service fill capacities of 8.12 liters and 5 liters respectively across the 2012-2014 model years.
  • Under normal use conditions, the automatic transaxle fluid change interval for the 2.4 VVT is specified at 97,500 miles, while a fluid level check is called for at 7,500 miles.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 2.4 VVT transaxle carries a significantly reduced change interval of 45,000 miles, less than half the normal-use interval, with the 7,500-mile check interval remaining unchanged.
  • The 2.4 VVT FlexFuel variant follows the same interval structure as the standard 2.4 VVT, with a 97,500-mile change interval under normal conditions and a 45,000-mile interval under severe conditions.
