Additional Notes

  • All seven configurations listed carry a transaxle designation, meaning the manual transmission and front axle differential share a single integrated housing and a common fluid fill.
  • The 1996-2001 Hyundai Coupé lineup, covering the 1.6 16V, 1.8 16V, and 2.0 16V engines, shares a uniform transaxle fluid capacity of 2.2 liters across all three variants under normal use conditions.
  • The 1996-2001 generation specifies a fluid change interval of 30,000 km or 24 months under normal use, meaning the fluid is drained and replaced on a fixed schedule rather than simply inspected.
  • The 2002-2006 generation shifts from a change-based interval to a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months, indicating the service action at each visit is inspection rather than mandatory replacement.
  • The 2002-2006 Coupé / Tiburon 1.6 16V and 2.0 16V carry a transaxle capacity of 2.15 liters for units up to 2005, a slight reduction from the 2.2-liter figure seen in the earlier generation and in the pre-2004 2.0 16V specification.
  • The 2.0 16V in the 2002-2006 range has two separate capacity entries depending on model year: 2.2 liters for units up to 2004, and 2.15 liters for units up to 2005, reflecting a mid-generation specification revision for that engine.
  • The 2.7 V6 (2002-2006) shares the 2.2-liter transaxle capacity with the pre-2004 2.0 16V of the same generation, despite the larger displacement and additional cylinder count of the V6 engine.
  • The 15,000 km or 12-month check interval applied across the 2002-2006 configurations is half the distance of the 30,000 km change interval used in the 1996-2001 generation, placing more frequent attention on the transaxle fluid condition in the newer range.
