Additional Notes

  • The Mazda Luce 1500 SUA and Luce 1800 SVA share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.3 liters, covering model years 1966-1973 across both engine variants.
  • Starting with the Luce Legato/929L LA2/3 generation (1973-1981), the manual transmission fluid capacity increased to 1.4 liters, reflecting a larger gearbox unit compared to the earlier 1.3-liter figure.
  • The LA4/5 generation (1977-1981) introduced a second capacity figure of 1.7 liters alongside the 1.4-liter value, applying to both the 1800 and 2000 engine variants. The two figures correspond to different transmission assemblies fitted within the same chassis generation.
  • Across all configurations from 1966-1977, the normal-use change interval is set at 18,000 km with no time-based component. The LA4/5 generation (1977-1981) revised the normal change interval to 20,000 km with an added 12-month time limit, whichever comes first.
  • A fluid level check interval of 6,000 km appears in the LA2/3 normal-use specifications (1973-1977). The LA4/5 generation extended the check interval to 10,000 km and added a 6-month time condition alongside the distance figure.
  • An initial service change at 1,000 km is specified across every configuration in the lineup, from the 1966 Luce 1500 SUA through the 1981 LA4/5 variants. At 1,000 km, residual metal particles from manufacturing are typically flushed before they can cause abrasive wear.
  • The initial service interval of 1,000 km carries no time-based component in any configuration, unlike the normal-use intervals in the LA4/5 generation, which pair distance with a month-based limit.
  • The Luce Legato/929L 2000 LA2/3 (1975-1977) shares its 1.4-liter capacity and 18,000 km change interval with the 1800 LA2/3 of the same chassis generation, indicating a common transmission unit across the two engine displacements in that series.
