Additional Notes

  • The Ford Fiesta (USA) automatic transaxle fluid capacity is specified at either 1.7 or 1.8 liters depending on the engine and model year, both of which represent a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry fill quantity.
  • The 1.6 Ti-VCT engine carried a 1.7-liter transaxle capacity across the 2010-2016 model years, while the same engine in 2017 and later moved to a 1.8-liter capacity, marking a measurable increase tied to a revised specification.
  • The 1.0 EcoBoost for 2016-2017 shares the 1.7-liter transaxle capacity with the earlier 1.6 Ti-VCT configurations, despite being a different engine family entirely.
  • A 150,000-mile change interval under normal use conditions applies across all listed configurations, a figure consistent with Ford's classification of certain automatic transmission fluids as lifetime or extended-life fills under standard driving conditions.
  • Under severe use conditions, the change interval drops sharply to 30,000 miles for both the 1.0 EcoBoost (2016-2017) and the 1.6 Ti-VCT (2017), reflecting a five-to-one ratio difference compared to the normal use interval.
  • Severe use conditions in automatic transmission service contexts typically encompass frequent towing, stop-and-go traffic, extreme temperatures, or other high-stress operating patterns that accelerate fluid degradation.
  • A fluid level check interval of 10,000 miles or 12 months is specified for the 1.0 EcoBoost (2016-2017) and the 1.6 Ti-VCT (2017 onward) under both normal and severe use, whereas the 1.6 Ti-VCT rows covering 2010-2016 carry no check interval in the specifications.
  • The 1.6 Ti-VCT entries span multiple overlapping year groupings across 2010-2019, with the 2010-2011, 2011-2014, and 2015-2016 ranges all sharing identical 1.7-liter capacity and 150,000-mile change interval values under normal use.
