Hyundai Stellar (EU)

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Hyundai Stellar (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,7 to 2,3 liters. Service intervals include checking at 10000 km and changing at 40000 km or 24 to 48 months. The data covers 11 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Stellar (EU) manual transmission fluid specifications cover three engine variants across the 1984-1990 production span: the 1.4, 1.6, and 2.0 litre units. Each engine variant carries two distinct capacity figures, reflecting different gearbox assemblies fitted to the same engine depending on the specific configuration.
  • A capacity of 1.7 litres appears across all three engine variants and both production periods, making it the most consistently listed figure in the manual transmission specifications. A service fill of 1.7 litres is a relatively modest volume, typical of compact or medium-displacement manual gearboxes of the era.
  • The 1.4 and 1.6 litre variants from 1986-1990 list a 2.0 litre capacity as an alternative to 1.7 litres, while the 2.0 litre variant from 1984-1986 lists a notably higher alternative capacity of 2.3 litres. The 2.3 litre figure is the largest capacity value in the entire dataset and is exclusive to the early 2.0 litre engine configuration.
  • From 1986-1990, the 2.0 litre variant's alternative capacity drops from 2.3 litres to 2.0 litres, representing a reduction of 0.3 litres compared to the 1984-1986 specification for the same engine's larger gearbox option.
  • The fluid check interval is uniformly set at 10,000 km across nearly all configurations. The one exception is the Stellar 1.6 (1984-1986) row listing a 1.7 litre capacity, which carries no check interval at all, only a change interval.
  • The fluid change interval is 40,000 km across all listed configurations. In several 1984-1986 entries, a time-based limit accompanies the distance figure. The 1.4 litre (1984-1986) pairs 40,000 km with a 24-month limit, while the 1.6 litre (1984-1986) entries pair 40,000 km with either 24 or 48 months depending on the capacity variant, and the 2.0 litre (1984-1986) entries carry no time-based limit alongside the 40,000 km interval.
  • The 48-month time-based change interval appears only once in the dataset, on the Stellar 1.6 (1984-1986) row with the 1.7 litre capacity. A 48-month limit means fluid should be replaced after four years regardless of mileage, which is a notably longer calendar interval than the 24-month limit seen on other 1984-1986 entries.
  • All 1986-1990 entries list only the 40,000 km change interval without any accompanying time-based limit, a pattern that contrasts with several of the 1984-1986 rows where both a mileage and a calendar interval are specified together.
