Additional Notes

  • The Honda Insight Hybrid ZE1 manual transaxle holds 1.6 liters at initial fill, which reflects the total fluid volume required when the unit is completely dry, such as during a rebuild or replacement.
  • The service fill capacity is 1.5 liters, a figure that applies when fluid is drained and refilled during routine maintenance, accounting for residual fluid that remains in the transaxle after draining.
  • The 0.1-liter difference between the initial fill and service fill capacities indicates that a small amount of fluid is retained within the transaxle assembly even after a standard drain procedure.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specified change interval for the manual transaxle fluid is 192,000 km or 72 months, whichever comes first, reflecting a long-life service schedule across the 2000-2006 model years.
  • The 72-month time limit on the fluid change interval means that calendar aging of the fluid is treated as a limiting factor independent of mileage accumulation.
