Hyundai Scoupé (EU)

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Hyundai Scoupé (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,8 to 2,15 liters. Service intervals include checks at 10000 km or 15000 km/12 months and changes at 30000 km/24 months or 40000 km/24 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Scoupé (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacity differs between the early and later variants. The 1.5 from 1990-1991 holds 1.8 liters, while the 1.5i and 1.5i Turbo from 1992-1995 both hold 2.15 liters.
  • The 0.35-liter increase in transaxle capacity between the 1990-1991 and 1992-1995 variants suggests a physically larger or revised gearbox unit was introduced with the 1.5i generation.
  • The 1.5 from 1990-1991 carries a fluid check interval of 10,000 km, whereas the 1992-1995 1.5i and 1.5i Turbo specify a longer check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • The change interval for the 1990-1991 1.5 is set at 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, which is notably longer than the 30,000 km or 24 months specified for the 1992-1995 variants.
  • Despite the 1.5i Turbo producing more power than the naturally aspirated 1.5i, both 1992-1995 variants share identical transaxle fluid capacity and service intervals, indicating the same gearbox unit was used across both engine configurations in that period.
  • All three variants specify normal use conditions, meaning the intervals listed reflect standard driving rather than a more demanding severe-use schedule.
  • The time-based component of the change interval, 24 months, remains consistent across all three variants regardless of the differing mileage thresholds, establishing a two-year maximum service life for the fluid in all cases.
