MG MG-ZT

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

MG MG-ZT requires automatic transmission fluid with a capacity of 4 liters. Service intervals include checks at 25000 km or 12 months and changes at 100000 km or 48 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The MG ZT automatic transmission fluid capacity is 4 liters across all three listed configurations, which is a service fill figure associated with a transaxle unit rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • A transaxle combines the transmission and differential into a single housing, and the 4-liter capacity reflects the fluid volume required to service that integrated assembly.
  • The ZT 120 CDTi and ZT 135 CDTi share identical automatic transmission fluid specifications for the 2003-2005 model years, including capacity, check interval, and change interval.
  • The ZT 190 V6-24V covers a wider production span of 2001-2005, yet carries the same 4-liter capacity and service intervals as the two CDTi variants introduced later in 2003.
  • Under normal use conditions, the fluid check interval is set at 25,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, across all three configurations.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use is 100,000 km or 48 months, meaning a full four-year or 100,000 km service cycle applies to all listed MG ZT automatic transaxle variants.
  • The 48-month change interval corresponds to a four-year period, which means a vehicle driven at lower annual mileage would reach the time-based threshold before the distance-based one.
