Additional Notes

  • The MG Magnette Mk IV carries a total automatic transmission fluid capacity of 6.4 liters, a figure that reflects a full service fill encompassing the transmission pan, valve body, and internal passages.
  • A separate torque converter capacity of 3 liters is specified alongside the main 6.4-liter figure, indicating the two values address distinct fluid volumes within the same drivetrain assembly rather than representing alternative fill amounts.
  • The combined fluid volume across both the transmission and torque converter reaches 9.4 liters, which is consistent with what a complete overhaul or dry-fill procedure would require when the torque converter has been fully drained or replaced.
  • The 5,000 km check interval is assigned under normal use conditions, meaning the specification applies to standard driving rather than elevated-stress operation.
  • A check interval at 5,000 km does not represent a fluid change interval but rather a scheduled inspection point to verify fluid level and condition within the normal use category.
