Additional Notes

  • The MG ZR 1.8 16V carries an automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 4.5 liters, a figure that represents a service fill level rather than a full overhaul or dry fill quantity, which would typically be higher due to fluid retained within the torque converter and valve body.
  • The check interval for the automatic transaxle fluid is set at 25,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applying under normal use conditions.
  • Under normal use conditions, the change interval for the automatic transaxle fluid extends to 150,000 km or 72 months, reflecting a relatively long drain period consistent with sealed or semi-sealed automatic transmission designs of that era.
  • The 72-month change interval translates to a six-year service cycle, meaning a vehicle placed into service in 2001 would reach its first fluid change point at approximately 2007 under the normal use condition schedule.
