Additional Notes

  • The Mazda RX-8 SE (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity varies noticeably across engine variants, ranging from 1.75 liters to 2.5 liters depending on the specific configuration.
  • The 141 kW variant carries the largest manual transmission fluid capacity in the lineup at 2.5 liters, which reflects a physically larger gearbox unit compared to the HP variants.
  • The RX-8 HP variant lists two separate capacity figures under normal use conditions: 1.95 liters and 1.75 liters, indicating two distinct manual transmission assemblies are associated with the HP designation across the 2003-2011 period.
  • All three rows share an identical service interval of 100,000 km or 60 months under normal use conditions, meaning the interval specification does not differentiate between the 141 kW and HP variants despite their differing fluid volumes.
  • The 60-month time limit on the service interval means fluid replacement is due at five years regardless of whether the distance threshold has been reached, whichever condition occurs first.
