Additional Notes

  • The Dodge Caliber PM manual transaxle capacity is listed as a range of 2.4–2.7 liters for the 1.8-liter engine configurations, which reflects the typical difference between a partial drain-and-fill service and a more complete fluid exchange during overhaul or full drain procedures.
  • The 2.4T SRT-4 carries a notably lower manual transaxle capacity of 1.8 liters, a fixed single value rather than a range, suggesting a different transaxle unit compared to the 1.8-liter engine variants.
  • All rows in the Dodge Caliber PM manual transmission specifications are designated for severe use conditions, meaning the 48,000-mile / 48-month change interval applies specifically under that operating classification rather than standard driving conditions.
  • The 1.8-liter engine rows cover two overlapping model year spans — 2006-2007 and 2007-2010 — with identical capacity and interval figures, indicating that 2007 falls within both defined configurations without a change in fluid specification.
  • The Canadian-market 1.8 (2006-2007) row carries the same 2.4–2.7 liter capacity and 48-month interval as the US-market equivalent, with the only distinction being the distance expressed as 80,000 km rather than 48,000 miles, reflecting a metric unit conversion for the Canadian specification.
  • The 2.4T SRT-4 shares the same 48,000-mile / 48-month severe-use interval as the 1.8-liter variants despite having a smaller transaxle fluid capacity, meaning the service frequency is consistent across the Caliber PM manual transmission lineup regardless of capacity differences.
