Additional Notes

  • The Daihatsu Charade 1.0 automatic transaxle capacity increased from 4.2 liters in the 1983-1987 generation to 5 liters in the 1987-1993 generation, reflecting a difference in transaxle unit size between the two production runs.
  • The 1988-1993 Charade 1.3 and 1.3i automatic transaxles share a notably low capacity of 2 liters, which is among the smallest figures across all Charade automatic transaxle configurations in these specifications.
  • The 1.3 transaxle capacity rose from 2 liters in the 1988-1993 period to 3.2 liters in the 1993-1996 period, indicating a change in the transaxle unit used across those generations.
  • A fluid check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use applies to the 1983-1993 Charade 1.0 automatic transaxle configurations, representing the most frequent check schedule found across these specifications.
  • The 1993-1996 Charade 1.3 automatic transaxle carries a check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use, which is double the distance and time of the earlier 1.3 check intervals.
  • The 1.3i 16V and 1.5i 16V automatic transaxles for 1999-2001 share a change interval of 90,000 km or 72 months under normal use, the longest change interval specified across all Charade automatic transaxle entries.
  • The 1993-1998 Charade 1.3i, 1.5i 16V, and 1.6i automatic transaxle entries list only a change interval of 80,000 km or 48 months, with no fluid check interval specified for those configurations.
  • The Charade 1.3 16V VVT-i (2011-2013) uses a semi-automatic transaxle rather than a conventional automatic, distinguishing it from all other Charade entries in these specifications. Under normal use, only a check interval of 60,000 km or 48 months is listed, while under severe use, a fluid change at 60,000 km or 48 months applies to the same 2.4-liter capacity.
  • The 3.2-liter capacity appears across multiple Charade configurations spanning 1993-2001, covering the 1.3, 1.3i, 1.3i 16V, 1.5i 16V, and 1.6i automatic transaxles, suggesting a common transaxle platform was used across those engine variants and model years.
