Additional Notes

  • Across the Honda Civic XI manual transaxle lineup, two distinct capacity profiles appear. The 1.5T, 1.5T Si, and 2.0 variants share a 2.0-liter initial fill and a 1.9-liter service fill, while the 2.0 Type-R carries a noticeably larger 2.6-liter overhaul capacity and a 2.2-liter service fill.
  • The 0.1-liter difference between the 2.0-liter initial fill and the 1.9-liter service fill on the 1.5T, 1.5T Si, and 2.0 configurations reflects a common pattern where a small residual volume of fluid remains in the transaxle after a drain, meaning a service fill never fully restores the total system volume.
  • On the Civic XI 2.0 Type-R, the gap between the 2.6-liter overhaul capacity and the 2.2-liter service fill is 0.4 liters, a wider margin than on the other variants, consistent with the larger overall fluid volume held in a performance-oriented transaxle.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 1.5T, 1.5T Si, and 2.0 configurations all carry a fixed manual transaxle fluid change interval of 37,500 miles.
  • The Civic XI 2.0 Type-R also follows a 37,500-mile change interval under severe use, placing it on the same mileage schedule as the non-Type-R variants despite holding a larger fluid volume.
  • For all four configurations, the flexible interval condition relies on an on-board maintenance system rather than a fixed mileage figure, meaning no specific mileage interval is assigned to that use condition in the specifications.
  • The 1.5T and 1.5T Si share identical manual transaxle capacity and interval figures across both use conditions, with no specification difference between the two trims in the data provided.
  • The Type-R variant's overhaul capacity designation of 2.6 liters distinguishes a full rebuild fill from a routine service fill, a distinction not present in the capacity labeling for the 1.5T, 1.5T Si, or 2.0 configurations, where the larger figure is labeled as an initial fill rather than an overhaul capacity.
