Additional Notes

  • The Chevrolet Cavalier (USA / CAN) manual transaxle fluid specifications cover the 1998-2005 model years across two distinct engine variants: the 2.2 and the 2.2 DOHC.
  • The 2.2 engine from 1998-2002 carries a capacity range of 1.7-1.9 liters, which reflects a service fill tolerance rather than a single fixed value, allowing for normal variation during a fluid service.
  • The 2.2 DOHC engine, introduced in 2002, carries a fixed capacity of 1.7 liters for the manual transaxle, representing the lower bound of the range specified for the earlier 2.2 engine.
  • The 2002 model year is notable because both the 2.2 and the 2.2 DOHC engine configurations appear in the specifications, indicating a transitional period where two different engine variants were available with differing capacity values for the same manual transaxle system.
  • All capacity values across the 1998-2005 range are listed under normal use conditions, meaning the specifications apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • The 2.2 DOHC manual transaxle capacity of 1.7 liters remains consistent across the 2002-2005 model years, with no variation recorded between those years in the specifications.
