Additional Notes

  • The Mazda MX-5 / Miata NC (EU) 2.0 carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 7.4 liters across both the 2005-2011 and 2011-2015 model year ranges.
  • A 7.4-liter figure for an automatic transmission typically represents a full service fill, accounting for fluid retained within the torque converter and valve body in addition to the main sump volume.
  • The specified check interval for both model year ranges is every 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The 20,000 km or 12-month check interval applies specifically to normal use, meaning operating conditions that fall outside severe classifications such as frequent towing, extreme temperatures, or predominantly short-trip driving.
  • Both the 2005-2011 and 2011-2015 2.0 configurations share an identical 7.4-liter capacity and the same 20,000 km / 12-month check schedule, indicating no change in automatic transmission specification between those two production periods.
