Lotus Exige, MK3

Additional Notes

• The Lotus Exige MK3 automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 6.4 liters across all listed variants, from the Exige S through to the Exige Sport 380. A dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or newly assembled unit, rather than a partial service top-up.
• The Exige S (2012-2016) automatic transaxle has a normal-use service interval of 58,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first. Under severe use conditions, that same transaxle requires a fluid change at 7,500 km or 6 months.
• The gap between normal and severe service intervals on the Exige S transaxle is substantial. Normal-use intervals extend to 58,000 km, while severe-use intervals call for a change at 7,500 km, meaning severe-use servicing occurs roughly 7.7 times more frequently by distance.
• The Exige Sport 350 (2016-2021) shares the same 6.4-liter dry fill capacity and identical service intervals as the earlier Exige S, with 58,000 km or 48 months under normal use and 7,500 km or 6 months under severe use.
• The Exige Sport 380 (2016-2021) also carries a 6.4-liter dry fill capacity for the automatic transaxle, with service intervals matching both the Exige S and Exige Sport 350 across normal and severe use conditions.
• Across all three variants, the severe-use time-based interval is 6 months, compared to 48 months under normal use. A 6-month interval indicates that calendar time alone can trigger a required fluid change regardless of distance traveled, which is relevant for low-mileage vehicles operated under demanding conditions.
