Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Equus VI (USA) 4.6 MPI V8, covering the 2011 model year, carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 9.5 liters, which represents a full system fill figure typical of an overhaul or complete drain-and-refill procedure rather than a partial service top-up.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 4.6 MPI V8 transmission calls for a fluid check at 40,000 miles or 48 months, whichever comes first, with no separate change interval specified for that condition.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 4.6 MPI V8 retains the 40,000-mile or 48-month check interval while adding a fluid change requirement at 60,000 miles, reflecting the additional thermal and mechanical stress associated with severe operating conditions.
  • The 5.0 GDI V8 introduced for 2012-2013 carries a slightly larger automatic transmission fluid capacity of 10.1 liters, an increase of 0.6 liters compared to the 4.6 MPI V8 used in 2011.
  • For the 5.0 GDI V8 in 2012-2013, the severe use condition specifies a fluid change at 60,000 miles, mirroring the same change interval applied to the 4.6 MPI V8 under equivalent conditions.
  • The 2014-2016 5.0 GDI V8 introduces a capacity range of 9.6 to 10.1 liters rather than a single fixed value, indicating that the precise fill volume can vary depending on the specific transmission variant or the extent of fluid displacement during service.
  • Across the 2012-2013 and 2014-2016 5.0 GDI V8 configurations, the severe use condition consistently carries a 60,000-mile change interval, while the normal use condition lists no change interval in either period.
