Additional Notes

  • The Kia Joice / Carstar 2.0 manual transaxle holds 2.5 liters of fluid, a figure consistent with a front-wheel-drive transaxle unit that combines the transmission and differential into a single housing, requiring a unified fluid fill.
  • The 100,000 km change interval on the 2.0 manual transaxle reflects a long-drain service schedule, placing fluid replacement well beyond typical annual maintenance cycles for most drivers under normal use conditions.
  • Under normal use conditions, the check interval is set at 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, meaning fluid level verification is due far more frequently than the full drain-and-fill service at 100,000 km.
  • The 1999-2003 2.0 manual transaxle specification covers only a single engine and transmission configuration, with no variation in capacity or interval across the model years within that range.
