Additional Notes

  • The Honda Civic VII EM/ES/EP/EU/EV manual transaxle holds 1.5 liters across the 1.4i, 1.6i, 2.0i (118 kW), 2.0i Type R, and Coupé 1.7i variants, while the 1.7 CTDI diesel stands apart with a 2.0-liter transaxle capacity. The larger fill volume in the diesel reflects a physically different gearbox unit rather than a service overfill allowance.
  • The 1.7 CTDI (2002-2005) carries a fluid check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months, which is notably shorter than the 60,000 km or 48-month check interval shared by the 1.4i, 1.6i, and Coupé 1.7i. Despite the more frequent checks, the diesel's change interval extends to 120,000 km or 96 months, eight months longer than the 72-month change interval applied to the petrol variants.
  • Two distinct check intervals appear for the Civic 2.0i (118 kW) under normal use conditions: one at 60,000 km or 48 months, and another at 20,000 km or 12 months. Both rows share the same 1.5-liter capacity and 120,000 km or 72-month change interval, indicating the difference lies solely in the inspection frequency rather than the fluid volume or replacement schedule.
  • The Civic 2.0i (118 kW) and the 2.0i Type R both carry a separate severe-use specification, where the fluid change interval shortens to 60,000 km or 48 months. No check interval is listed under severe use for either variant, only the change interval, contrasting with the dual check-and-change structure present in their normal-use rows.
  • Under severe-use conditions, the 2.0i (118 kW) and 2.0i Type R fluid change intervals of 60,000 km or 48 months align exactly with the check interval used for the 1.4i, 1.6i, and Coupé 1.7i under normal use. The 1.5-liter capacity remains unchanged regardless of use condition across all these variants.
  • The 2.0i Type R (2001-2005) shares its normal-use check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months with the 2.0i (118 kW) rather than with the 60,000 km or 48-month interval used by the lower-displacement petrol engines. Both the 2.0i (118 kW) and the Type R also share identical severe-use change intervals of 60,000 km or 48 months.
  • The Civic Coupé 1.7i (2001-2005) follows the same 1.5-liter capacity, 60,000 km or 48-month check, and 120,000 km or 72-month change schedule as the 1.4i and 1.6i saloon variants, despite the different body style and engine displacement. No severe-use row is listed for the Coupé 1.7i, unlike the 2.0i variants.
