Additional Notes

  • The semi-automatic transaxles fitted to the 1.4 T-GDI and 1.6 T-GDI engines carry notably small fluid capacities relative to the conventional automatic unit. The 1.4 T-GDI holds 1.8–1.9 liters, while the 1.6 T-GDI holds 1.9–2.0 liters. These figures reflect a service fill volume typical of dual-clutch or automated manual transaxle designs, which use far less fluid than traditional torque-converter automatics.
  • The Hyundai Elantra AD/ADA 2.0 MPI automatic transaxle has a capacity of 6.7 liters across all listed model years from 2016-2020. A capacity at that level is consistent with a full overhaul or dry-fill quantity for a conventional torque-converter automatic, meaning a partial drain-and-fill service would use a lower volume in practice.
  • Under normal use conditions, the semi-automatic transaxles on the 1.4 T-GDI (2017-2020) and both 1.6 T-GDI configurations call for a fluid check at 24,000 miles or 48 months. A check interval rather than a change interval under normal conditions means the fluid level and condition are inspected, but a full replacement is not necessarily performed at that point.
  • Under severe use conditions, the semi-automatic transaxles on the 1.4 T-GDI and 1.6 T-GDI specify a fluid change at 72,000 miles. Severe use typically encompasses conditions such as frequent towing, stop-and-go traffic, or extreme temperature exposure, which accelerate fluid degradation and justify a defined replacement interval.
  • The 2.0 MPI automatic transaxle for 2016-2017 model years carries a severe-use fluid change interval of 75,000 miles. For the 2018-2020 model years, the same engine and transaxle combination has a reduced severe-use change interval of 60,000 miles, representing a 15,000-mile difference between the two groups.
  • No fluid change interval is listed for the 2.0 MPI automatic transaxle under normal use conditions for any model year from 2016-2020. Only a capacity figure of 6.7 liters appears in those rows, indicating the specifications do not prescribe a scheduled normal-use replacement interval for that transaxle.
  • The 1.6 T-GDI semi-automatic transaxle appears across two overlapping year groupings: 2017-2018 and 2018-2020. Both groupings share identical capacity values of 1.9–2.0 liters and the same service intervals, with the 2018 model year present in both ranges.
