Additional Notes

  • The manual transaxle fluid capacity across all listed configurations of the Hyundai Accent MC (USA) is 1.9 liters, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul, as transaxle overhaul capacities typically run higher to account for complete drainage of internal passages and the torque converter where applicable.
  • The 1.6 MPI covering 2006-2010 carries a normal-use service interval structured as a fluid check at 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first, rather than a full fluid change, meaning the interval is tied to inspection rather than replacement under standard driving conditions.
  • Under severe use, the 2006-2010 1.6 MPI specifies a fluid change at 60,000 miles, which contrasts with the normal-use schedule by replacing the check requirement with an outright change at a defined mileage threshold.
  • The 2010-2011 1.6 MPI normal-use interval extends the check interval to 37,500 miles and 48 months, representing a longer service window compared to the 30,000-mile and 24-month schedule applied to the earlier 2006-2010 configuration.
  • The severe-use change interval for the 2010-2011 1.6 MPI is set at 80,000 miles, which is 20,000 miles longer than the 60,000-mile severe-use change interval specified for the 2006-2010 configuration, despite both sharing the same 1.9-liter fluid capacity.
  • The 2010 model year appears in both the 2006-2010 and 2010-2011 specification rows, indicating a mid-cycle revision to the service intervals that took effect during that year rather than at a clean model-year boundary.
