Honda Fit, GD3 (USA / CAN)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Honda Fit, GD3 (USA / CAN) requires automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 2,5 to 5,85 liters. Service intervals include changes at 30000 miles and 60000 miles. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Honda Fit GD3 (USA/CAN) 1.5 16V automatic transaxle holds 5.85 liters at dry fill, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit, such as after a full overhaul or replacement.
  • The service fill capacity is 2.5 liters, a figure that reflects the partial volume recovered during a standard drain-and-refill procedure, where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and valve body.
  • The gap between the 5.85-liter dry fill and the 2.5-liter service fill indicates that roughly 3.35 liters of fluid is retained in the transaxle during a routine service, making the service fill significantly less than a full system charge.
  • Under severe use conditions, the automatic transaxle fluid change interval is set at 30,000 miles for the 2007-2008 1.5 16V configuration.
  • A separate severe-use interval of 60,000 miles applies specifically to the first change only, meaning the initial fluid replacement after the vehicle enters service is permitted at a longer interval before the 30,000-mile severe schedule takes effect.
  • One configuration ties the change interval to the on-board maintenance system rather than a fixed mileage figure, meaning the vehicle's own monitoring logic determines when a fluid change is due under flexible use conditions.
