Additional Notes

  • The Chrysler Sunbeam (USA / CAN) 1.6 carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 6.1 liters, a figure consistent with a full service fill for a compact transmission of that era.
  • The 1.6 automatic transmission is designated as filled for life, meaning the 6.1-liter fill is intended to remain in the unit without scheduled drain-and-refill intervals across the 1977-1980 model years.
  • Despite the filled-for-life designation, a fluid check interval of 7,500 km is specified, indicating that monitoring the fluid level at that mileage point was still part of the service routine for the 1.6 automatic transmission.
