Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Accent RB manual transaxle holds between 1.8 and 1.9 liters of fluid, a range that reflects the typical service fill tolerance for a compact front-wheel-drive transaxle rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill figure.
  • The 1.8–1.9 liter capacity applies uniformly across all listed model years, from 2012 through 2017, with no variation between the earlier and later production groups of the 1.6 GDI engine.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specification calls for a fluid level check at 37,500 miles or 30 months, whichever comes first, with no scheduled drain-and-fill interval listed for that use condition.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 37,500-mile or 30-month check interval is retained, but an additional fluid change at 75,000 miles is specified on top of the periodic inspection requirement.
  • The 75,000-mile change interval under severe conditions applies identically to both the 2012-2013 and 2014-2017 model year groups, indicating no revision to the severe-use service schedule across the production span covered by the specifications.
  • A check interval expressed in both mileage and months, as seen here with 37,500 miles or 30 months, means the first threshold reached triggers the service, regardless of whether the vehicle accumulates mileage quickly or sits for extended periods.
