Additional Notes

  • Across all listed configurations of the Honda Civic V (EG/EH/EJ), the automatic transaxle fluid capacity is uniformly 2.7 liters. A service fill figure of this kind reflects the amount of fluid exchanged during a routine drain-and-fill procedure, not the total system volume that would apply during a full overhaul or torque converter replacement.
  • The Civic 1.4i (1993-1995) carries two separate interval entries depending on operating conditions. Under normal use, the automatic transaxle fluid is changed at 60,000 km or 36 months. Under severe use, the interval shortens considerably to 20,000 km or 12 months, reflecting the greater thermal and mechanical stress placed on the fluid in demanding driving conditions.
  • The Civic 1.5i (1992-1995) has three distinct interval entries, more than any other configuration in the table. A severe-use condition calls for a 20,000 km or 12-month change interval, while two separate normal-condition entries are split by model year. Vehicles produced up to and including 1993 follow a 40,000 km or 48-month interval, whereas 1994 and later production shifts to 60,000 km or 36 months.
  • The year-based split in the Civic 1.5i normal-use intervals represents a mid-generation revision. The earlier interval of 40,000 km or 48 months was replaced from 1994 onward with a 60,000 km or 36-month schedule, extending the distance threshold while reducing the maximum time allowance from four years to three.
  • The Civic 1.6 ESi (1992-1995) uses a 40,000 km or 48-month normal-use interval, which aligns with the pre-1994 Civic 1.5i schedule rather than the 60,000 km or 36-month interval seen in later or other configurations. No severe-use interval is listed for the 1.6 ESi in the specifications.
  • The Civic 1.6i 5-door (1994-1996), Civic Coupé 1.5i (1994-1996), and Civic Coupé 1.6 ESi (1994-1996) all share an identical normal-use specification of 2.7 liters capacity and a 60,000 km or 36-month change interval. The body style and engine displacement differences among these three variants produce no variation in the automatic transaxle fluid service data.
  • The time-based component of the change interval varies between 36 months and 48 months across the listed configurations. A 48-month ceiling appears in the Civic 1.6 ESi (1992-1995) and the pre-1994 Civic 1.5i, while the 36-month ceiling applies to the 1.4i under normal use and to all 1994-onward entries. Time limits in fluid service schedules exist because fluid degradation occurs even without significant mileage accumulation.
