Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Elantra HD (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacity is 2 liters across all four engine variants covered in the 2006-2010 range, namely the 1.6 CRDi DPF, 1.6 CRDi, 1.6 CVVT, and 2.0.
  • A 2-liter transaxle capacity is consistent with a front-wheel-drive manual gearbox service fill, representing the working fluid volume rather than a larger overhaul or bench-fill quantity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specified maintenance action for the manual transaxle is a fluid check at intervals of 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use conditions, the specified action shifts from a periodic check to a fluid change, set at 100,000 km for all four engine variants.
  • The distinction between a check interval under normal conditions and a change interval under severe conditions reflects meaningfully different service demands on the transaxle fluid across the same 2006-2010 model range.
  • No variation in fluid capacity exists between the diesel variants (1.6 CRDi DPF and 1.6 CRDi) and the petrol variants (1.6 CVVT and 2.0), with all four sharing the same 2-liter specification.
  • The 15,000 km or 12-month normal-use check interval applies uniformly regardless of whether the engine is a diesel or petrol unit, indicating a consistent transaxle service schedule across the HD generation lineup.
