Chrysler Neon (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Chrysler Neon (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 3,8 to 8,4 liters. Service intervals include checks at 12000 km/12 months and changes at 24000 km/24 months, 48000 km/48 months, or 77000 km. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Chrysler Neon (EU) 2.0-16V DOHC (1994-1998) automatic transaxle carries a single listed capacity of 3.8 liters, which corresponds to a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • The SOHC variant of the same 1994-1998 generation lists both a dry fill of 8.2 liters and a service fill of 3.8 liters under severe use conditions. The dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt transaxle, while the service fill reflects the smaller amount needed after a routine drain.
  • The 3.8-liter service fill capacity is consistent across all four configurations in the specifications, regardless of engine variant or model year.
  • The 2000-2002 SOHC configuration carries a dry fill capacity of 8.4 liters, which is slightly higher than the 8.2-liter dry fill listed for the 1994-1998 SOHC variant.
  • The 2002-2004 SOHC configuration lists a dry fill of 8.1 liters under severe use conditions, making it the lowest dry fill value among the three SOHC entries that include a dry fill figure.
  • The 2000-2002 SOHC configuration under normal use conditions specifies both a fluid check interval of every 12,000 km or 12 months and a change interval of 48,000 km or 48 months, distinguishing between inspection and full replacement schedules.
  • The 1994-1998 DOHC and SOHC configurations share the same change interval of 24,000 km or 24 months, despite the DOHC entry applying to normal use and the SOHC entry applying to severe use.
  • The 2002-2004 SOHC configuration under severe use conditions specifies a change interval of 77,000 km with no time-based interval listed alongside it, unlike the other configurations which pair distance with a month-based interval.
