Additional Notes
- The Hyundai Elantra GT, PD (USA) 2.0 GDI automatic transaxle carries a fluid capacity of 6.7 liters, a figure typical of a full overhaul or dry fill rather than a routine service top-up, since a service fill on a drained-but-not-disassembled unit would normally recover only a portion of total capacity.
- The 1.6 T-GDI semi-automatic transaxle holds 1.9-2.0 liters of fluid, a substantially smaller volume that reflects the more compact architecture of a dual-clutch or automated manual unit compared to a conventional torque-converter automatic.
- Across both the 2017-2018 and 2018-2020 configurations of the 1.6 T-GDI, the fluid capacity of 1.9-2.0 liters remains unchanged, indicating no revision to the transaxle's fluid volume specification between those two overlapping model year groupings.
- The 2.0 GDI automatic transaxle likewise carries an identical 6.7-liter capacity across both the 2017-2018 and 2018-2020 configurations, showing consistency in the transmission hardware across those model years.
- For the 1.6 T-GDI semi-automatic transaxle under normal use conditions, the specification calls for a fluid check at 24,000 miles or 48 months, with no fluid change interval listed, meaning a change is not scheduled under normal operating conditions.
- Under severe use conditions, the 1.6 T-GDI semi-automatic transaxle retains the same 24,000-mile or 48-month check interval but adds a fluid change at 72,000 miles, a requirement absent from the normal-use schedule.
- The 2.0 GDI automatic transaxle under normal use conditions carries no fluid change interval in the specifications, while severe use conditions introduce a change interval of 60,000 miles, making the change requirement exclusive to severe-duty operation.
- The severe-use change interval for the 2.0 GDI automatic transaxle at 60,000 miles is shorter than the 72,000-mile severe-use change interval specified for the 1.6 T-GDI semi-automatic transaxle, placing a more frequent fluid renewal requirement on the conventional automatic unit under demanding conditions.
