Additional Notes

  • Across the 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter configurations spanning 1984-1990, the automatic transmission fluid capacity holds at 6.2 liters regardless of the production period, indicating a consistent transmission unit across both engine displacements and both generational splits.
  • The Hyundai Stellar (EU) 2.0-liter variant produced in 1984-1986 carries a notably lower automatic transmission fluid capacity of 5.7 liters, compared to the 6.2 liters specified for all other configurations in the lineup.
  • The 2.0-liter configuration revised upward to 6.2 liters for the 1986-1990 period, aligning with the capacity shared by the 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter variants across the same years.
  • A capacity figure in the range of 5.7 to 6.2 liters for an automatic transmission is typical of a total system fill, which includes fluid held within the torque converter, valve body, and transmission pan combined, rather than a simple drain-and-refill service quantity.
  • All six configurations share a uniform change interval of 40,000 km under normal use conditions, applying equally across the 1.4-liter, 1.6-liter, and 2.0-liter engine variants and across both the 1984-1986 and 1986-1990 production periods.
  • Normal use conditions, as referenced in all rows here, generally correspond to standard driving patterns without sustained heavy loads, frequent towing, or extreme temperature exposure, which are factors that would otherwise warrant a shortened service interval.
