Additional Notes

  • Across the Honda Civic VII (EM/ES/EP/EU/EV) manual transaxle configurations, fluid capacity falls within a 1.5–1.6 liter range, which is consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • The Civic Hybrid IMA (2002-2005) manual transaxle has a fixed capacity of 1.5 liters, sitting at the lower bound of the range specified for the 1.7 and 2.0 engine variants.
  • For the 1.7 and 2.0 engine variants, the normal-use change interval is 120,000 miles or 72 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 1.7 and 2.0 engine variants call for a manual transaxle fluid change at 60,000 km or 36 months, a notably shorter interval expressed in kilometers rather than miles.
  • The Civic Hybrid IMA severe-use interval is 60,000 miles or 36 months, which differs from the 1.7 and 2.0 severe-use interval in that the mileage figure is expressed in miles rather than kilometers.
  • The 2.0 engine variant shares the same 1.5–1.6 liter capacity range and identical normal and severe service intervals as the 1.7, despite the difference in displacement.
  • The Civic 2.0 manual transaxle specifications apply from 2001-2005, one model year later than the 1.7 variant, which is listed from 2000-2005.
