Additional Notes

  • The Dodge Stratus JR automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 8.7 liters on the 2.0 16V (USA) configuration, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit, including fluid held within the torque converter and valve body passages.
  • Service fill capacity on the 2.0 16V (USA) is 3.8 liters, which represents the amount of fluid displaced during a routine drain-and-fill procedure where the torque converter retains residual fluid.
  • The 3.8-liter service fill capacity also applies to the 2.4 16V (USA) and 2.7 V6 24V (USA) configurations across the 2000-2006 model years, indicating a shared transaxle service volume across multiple engine variants.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2.0 16V (USA) automatic transaxle carries a fluid change interval of 60,000 miles.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2.0 16V (USA) transaxle fluid change interval is specified at 77,000 km, which converts to approximately 47,850 miles, placing the severe-duty interval shorter than the normal-use mileage figure when both are expressed in the same unit.
  • The 2.4 16V (USA) and 2.7 V6 24V (USA) both carry a severe-use fluid change interval of 60,000 miles, a value that matches the normal-use interval listed for the 2.0 16V (USA) engine variant.
