Additional Notes

  • The Chevrolet Cruze (USA / CAN) manual transaxle capacity is 1.9 liters across all listed engine configurations and model years, applying equally to both the 1.4 Turbo DOHC and the 1.6 Turbo Diesel DOHC variants.
  • A 1.9-liter fill is consistent with a service fill specification, representing the fluid volume required when servicing the transaxle rather than a full overhaul capacity that would typically account for additional passages and cooler lines.
  • Under normal use conditions, no change interval is listed for any of the covered configurations, meaning only the 1.9-liter capacity figure applies without a mileage-based service requirement.
  • Under severe use conditions, a 45,000-mile change interval is specified for both the 1.4 Turbo DOHC and the 1.6 Turbo Diesel DOHC in the 2016-2017 model years, paired with the same 1.9-liter capacity.
  • The 1.6 Turbo Diesel DOHC carries a separate specification entry covering 2017-2020, where the severe use condition again calls for a 45,000-mile change interval alongside the 1.9-liter capacity, mirroring the earlier 2016-2017 diesel entry.
  • The overlap at the 2017 model year for the 1.6 Turbo Diesel DOHC, appearing in both the 2016-2017 and 2017-2020 entries, reflects two distinct specification groupings that share identical capacity and interval values under both normal and severe conditions.
