Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Sonata NF (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacity varies across engine variants, ranging from 1.8 liters in the 2.0 petrol to 2.1 liters in the 2.4i 16V, reflecting differences in gearbox size between these drivetrains.
  • The 2.0 CRDi (2006-2010) manual transaxle holds 1.9 liters, placing its capacity between the 2.0 petrol and the 2.4i 16V figures.
  • The 2.4i 16V (2005-2010) carries the largest manual transaxle fluid capacity among the listed variants at 2.1 liters, which is consistent with the physically larger gearbox typically paired with higher-displacement four-cylinder engines.
  • For the 2.0 petrol under normal use conditions, the service action specified is a fluid check at 48 months or 60,000 km, rather than a full fluid change, indicating a monitoring interval rather than a replacement interval.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2.0 petrol manual transaxle specifies a fluid change at 120,000 km. Severe use typically covers conditions such as frequent towing, stop-and-go driving, or extreme temperatures, which accelerate fluid degradation.
  • The 2.4i 16V (2005-2010) manual transaxle has a notably shorter check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use, which is considerably more frequent than the 60,000 km check interval assigned to the 2.0 petrol under the same use condition.
  • The 2.0 CRDi (2006-2010) row lists only a capacity value with no service interval specified for normal use, meaning no check or change mileage figure is associated with that configuration in the available specifications.
