Additional Notes

  • Across all Chevrolet Trax (USA / CAN) configurations covered here, the automatic transaxle overhaul capacity is listed at 8 to 8.5 liters, representing the total fluid volume required when the unit is fully disassembled and refilled from dry.
  • The service fill capacity is specified at 4 to 6 liters for every configuration, reflecting the partial volume exchanged during a routine drain-and-fill procedure rather than a complete overhaul.
  • The gap between the 4 to 6 liter service fill and the 8 to 8.5 liter overhaul capacity indicates that a standard service procedure does not displace all fluid retained within the torque converter and valve body passages.
  • Under normal use conditions, no change interval is listed for any of the configurations, meaning a mileage-based fluid replacement figure is absent from the normal-use rows.
  • Under severe use conditions, a fluid change interval of 45,000 miles applies to all four configurations: the 1.4 FWD, 1.4 AWD, 1.4 Turbo FWD, and 1.4 Turbo AWD.
  • The 45,000-mile severe-use interval is identical across both the 2017-2021 Trax 1.4 Turbo variants and the 2021-2022 Trax 1.4 variants, with no differentiation in interval length between the turbocharged and non-turbocharged designations.
  • The AWD configurations for both the 1.4 and 1.4 Turbo share the same transaxle capacity figures and severe-use interval as their FWD counterparts, indicating no capacity or interval distinction tied to drivetrain layout in these specifications.
  • The 1.4 Turbo designation covers model years 2017-2021, while the 1.4 designation covers 2021-2022, with 2021 appearing in both ranges as an overlapping model year across the two engine designations.
