Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Elantra MD/UD manual transaxle capacity is listed as a range of 1.9 to 2 liters across all configurations, which reflects a typical service fill tolerance rather than a fixed overhaul volume.
  • The 1.8 MPI engine covers the full 2011-2016 span of the specifications, while both 2.0 GDI variants enter the record only from 2014-2016, representing a narrower portion of the generation.
  • Two distinct 2.0 GDI output ratings appear in the specifications, 124 kW and 129 kW, both sharing identical capacity and interval figures despite the difference in power output.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1.8 MPI transaxle carries only a fluid check interval at 37,500 miles or 30 months, with no change interval listed for that use condition.
  • Under severe use conditions, a fluid change interval of 75,000 miles is added to the 37,500-mile or 30-month check interval, applying to the 1.8 MPI transaxle.
  • The same pattern of a check-only interval under normal use and a check-plus-change schedule under severe use applies equally to both 2.0 GDI variants, mirroring the 1.8 MPI structure exactly.
  • The 37,500-mile and 30-month check interval is expressed as a dual condition, meaning whichever threshold arrives first would govern the service timing.
  • The severe-use change interval of 75,000 miles is exactly double the 37,500-mile check interval, placing a fluid change at every second check point under severe conditions.
