Additional Notes
- All three configurations listed for the Hyundai Santa Fe MX5 (EU) — the 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid, 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid AWD, and 1.6 T-GDI Plug-in Hybrid AWD — share an identical automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 6 liters.
- A 6-liter capacity figure for an automatic transaxle represents a service fill volume, which is the amount of fluid used during a routine drain-and-refill procedure rather than a complete overhaul fill that would account for fluid retained in the torque converter and passages.
- The specifications across all three configurations apply exclusively to severe use conditions, meaning the check and change intervals listed are not intended for normal driving cycles.
- Under severe use conditions, the automatic transaxle fluid check interval is set at 60,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first, for all three configurations.
- The fluid change interval under severe use is 90,000 km for all three configurations, which is 30,000 km beyond the check threshold, indicating a structured two-stage maintenance sequence.
- The AWD variant of the 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid and the front-wheel-drive 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid share the same 6-liter transaxle capacity, suggesting the addition of AWD hardware does not alter the automatic transaxle fluid volume in the specifications provided.
- The 1.6 T-GDI Plug-in Hybrid AWD carries the same 6-liter transaxle capacity and identical service intervals as the non-plug-in hybrid variants, despite the integration of a plug-in powertrain architecture.
