Additional Notes

  • Both the 3.1 V6 and 3.4 V6 configurations of the Chevrolet Lumina (USA / CAN) share an identical automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 6.7 liters, indicating a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry fill figure.
  • A service fill capacity reflects the amount of fluid needed during a routine drain-and-refill procedure, which typically accounts for fluid retained in the torque converter and valve body that does not drain completely.
  • The 83,000 km change interval applies under normal use conditions for both the 3.1 V6 and 3.4 V6 across the full 1994-2001 model year span.
  • An 83,000 km automatic transmission fluid change interval is relatively extended, consistent with normal-use classifications that assume moderate operating temperatures, standard load cycles, and no prolonged towing or stop-and-go driving patterns.
  • The check interval is set at 12,500 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applying equally to both engine variants under normal use conditions.
  • The alignment of fluid capacity, check interval, and change interval across both the 3.1 V6 and 3.4 V6 suggests the two engine variants share the same automatic transaxle unit for the 1994-2001 period covered by these specifications.
