Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Elantra HD (USA) 2.0 carries a manual transmission fluid capacity of 2 liters across all four listed service configurations, spanning 2007-2010. A 2-liter fill is consistent with a compact front-wheel-drive transaxle unit of this class.
  • For the 2007-2008 2.0, the normal use condition calls for a fluid check at 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first. A check interval, rather than a change interval, means the fluid level and condition are inspected but not necessarily replaced at that point.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2007-2008 2.0 specifies a fluid change at 60,000 miles. Severe use typically encompasses frequent towing, stop-and-go driving, or operation in extreme temperatures, all of which accelerate fluid degradation.
  • The 2009-2010 2.0 extends the normal use check interval to 40,000 miles or 48 months, compared to the 30,000-mile or 24-month interval on the 2007-2008 model. Both the mileage and the time threshold increased between these model year groups.
  • The severe use change interval for the 2009-2010 2.0 is listed at 80,000 miles, which is 20,000 miles longer than the 60,000-mile severe interval specified for the 2007-2008 model. The fluid capacity of 2 liters remains unchanged between the two periods.
  • The service notation shifts from "transmission, manual" in 2007-2008 to "transaxle, manual" in 2009-2010. A transaxle integrates the transmission and differential into a single housing, and the terminology change in the specifications reflects how the unit is formally identified for each model year group.
