MG MG-F / MG-TF

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

MG MG-F / MG-TF uses automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 4,5 to 5,5 liters. The data covers 1 configuration.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Type	Specifications
MG-F 1.8i Steptronic (2000-2002)	Use: Normal Capacity 4,5 liter (Change capacity, without cooler) Capacity 5,5 liter (Service fill, with oil cooler) Code: VT1-11A CVT + Steptronic 6/1

The MG-F 1.8i Steptronic carries a change capacity of 4.5 liters when the transmission cooler is not part of the drain-and-fill procedure, reflecting only the fluid held within the transaxle unit itself.
When the oil cooler is included in the service procedure, the fill capacity rises to 5.5 liters, accounting for the additional fluid volume retained in the cooler circuit and its connecting lines.
The one-liter difference between the two capacity figures means that servicing the MG-F 1.8i Steptronic without accounting for the cooler would leave the system underfilled by a meaningful margin relative to the full service fill specification.
Both capacity values apply under normal use conditions, meaning neither figure is associated with a severe-duty interval or a first-change-only procedure.
