Additional Notes

  • The Honda Accord VI (CF/CG/CH/CK) manual transaxle fluid capacity splits into two distinct values across the 1998-2002 lineup: 1.9 liters for the 1.6i, 1.8i, and 2.0i petrol variants, and 2.0 liters for the 2.0i TD diesel and the 2.2i Type R.
  • A transaxle combines the transmission and drive axle into a single unit, meaning the 1.9 L and 2.0 L figures represent the total fluid volume for that integrated assembly rather than a standalone gearbox.
  • All five engine variants share an identical fluid check interval of 60,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, regardless of the capacity difference between them.
  • The fluid change interval for the 1.6i, 1.8i, 2.0i petrol, and 2.2i Type R is set at 120,000 km or 90 months under normal use conditions.
  • The 2.0i TD stands apart from the other four variants in one respect: while the distance-based change interval is the same 120,000 km, the time-based change interval extends to 96 months rather than 90 months under normal use conditions.
  • The two-month difference in the time-based change interval for the 2.0i TD means fluid in that transaxle is specified to remain in service up to 8 years before a change is due, compared to 7.5 years for the petrol-engined variants.
  • Across all five variants, the check interval at 60,000 km or 48 months falls at exactly half the distance-based change interval of 120,000 km, indicating a mid-cycle inspection point built into the service schedule.
