Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Pony automatic transmission fluid capacity is listed at 6.2 liters across all four configurations spanning the 1.2 and 1.4 engine variants from 1980-1985.
  • A 6.2-liter figure for an automatic transmission typically represents a full system fill, accounting for fluid held within the torque converter, valve body, and transmission pan combined.
  • The change interval is set at 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would trigger a fluid service.
  • A 48-month maximum interval translates to a four-year ceiling on fluid life regardless of mileage accumulation, which reflects the time-based degradation properties of automatic transmission fluid.
  • The 1.2 and 1.4 engine variants share an identical 6.2-liter capacity and the same 40,000 km / 48-month change interval, indicating no differentiation in transmission fluid specifications between the two engine displacements.
  • Both the 1980-1984 and 1984-1985 production period entries carry the same capacity and interval values for each respective engine size, showing no revision to fluid specifications at the 1984 model transition point.
