MG MG-ZS

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

MG MG-ZS uses automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 4 to 6,2 liters. Service intervals include 45000 miles or 36 months, 25000 km or 12 months, 50000 km or 48 months, and 100000 km or 48 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The MG-ZS 1.0T GDI carries a transaxle automatic fluid capacity of 6.2 liters, a figure that applies uniformly across the 2017 single-year entry and the GPF variants spanning 2018-2024.
  • A transaxle capacity of 6.2 liters reflects a combined transmission and differential housing, meaning the fill volume accounts for both gear and differential lubrication within a single integrated unit.
  • The 1.0T GDI and 1.0T GDI GPF configurations share an identical service interval of 45,000 miles or 36 months under normal use conditions, with no separate check interval specified alongside the change interval.
  • The MG-ZS 1.8 16V (2001-2005) carries a transaxle automatic capacity of 4.5 liters, which is notably higher than the V6-24V variant of the same generation, despite the V6 being the larger displacement engine.
  • The 1.8 16V specifies a fluid check at 25,000 km or 12 months and a full change at 50,000 km or 48 months under normal use, establishing a two-stage maintenance schedule that monitors condition before committing to a full drain and refill.
  • The MG-ZS V6-24V (2001-2005) holds a transaxle automatic capacity of 4.0 liters and carries a change interval of 100,000 km or 48 months under normal use, which is double the kilometer threshold of the 1.8 16V despite sharing the same 48-month time limit.
  • Both the 1.8 16V and V6-24V share the same 25,000 km or 12-month check interval, indicating a common inspection cadence across the two 2001-2005 engine variants regardless of their differing change intervals and capacities.
  • The shift from kilometer-based intervals in the 2001-2005 entries to mile-based intervals in the 2017-onward 1.0T GDI entries reflects a difference in the measurement standard used across the two generations of MG-ZS specifications.
