Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Genesis DH (USA) automatic transmission fluid capacity differs between engine families. The 3.8 GDI V6 requires 10.5 liters, while the 5.0 GDI V8 requires 9.9 liters, a difference of 0.6 liters across all applicable model years.
  • A 10.5-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity is a relatively high figure for a passenger car, consistent with a large multi-speed automatic unit where the torque converter, valve body, and cooler circuits together account for a significant share of total fluid volume.
  • The 9.9-liter capacity on the 5.0 GDI V8 configuration, while slightly lower than the V6 figure, still represents a full-system service fill rather than a partial drain-and-refill, meaning the value reflects total fluid held across all transmission circuits.
  • No fluid change interval is listed for normal use conditions on any configuration. A 60,000-mile change interval applies exclusively under severe use conditions across all 3.8 GDI V6 and 5.0 GDI V8 variants.
  • The 60,000-mile severe-use interval applies equally to the 3.8 GDI V6 in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with no difference in service frequency between the two drivetrain layouts.
  • The 3.8 GDI V6 specifications appear across two overlapping year ranges, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016, with identical capacity and interval values in both ranges for each drivetrain type. The 2015 model year is therefore covered by both sets of entries.
  • The same overlap pattern applies to the 5.0 GDI V8, where the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 entries share identical capacity and severe-use interval figures, placing the 2015 model year within both ranges simultaneously.
  • Severe use conditions in automotive service contexts typically refer to operation involving frequent towing, trailer hauling, stop-and-go driving, or sustained high-load cycles, all of which accelerate thermal degradation of automatic transmission fluid, which is why a defined change interval of 60,000 miles is assigned to that condition.
