MG MG6

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

The MG6 manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2.2 to 2.5 liters. The data covers three configurations. The fluid type specified is manual transmission fluid for normal use.

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

TypeSpecifications
MG6 1.9 DTi-Tech (2012-2016)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2,5 liter
  • Code: 5/1
MG6 1.8 (2010-2016)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2,2 liter
  • Code: 5/1
MG6 1.8T (2010-2016)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2,2 liter
  • Code: 5/1

Additional Notes

  • The MG6 1.8 and 1.8T variants, covering 2010-2016, share an identical manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2.2 liters, indicating both engines use the same transmission unit.
  • A transaxle combines the transmission and differential into a single housing, meaning the 2.2-liter figure represents the total fluid volume for that integrated assembly in the 1.8 and 1.8T configurations.
  • The MG6 1.9 DTi-Tech, available from 2012, carries a notably larger manual transaxle capacity of 2.5 liters, which is 0.3 liters more than the petrol-engined variants.
  • The larger 2.5-liter capacity in the 1.9 DTi-Tech is consistent with diesel-oriented transaxle designs, which often require greater fluid volumes to manage the higher torque loads produced by diesel engines.
  • All three configurations list fluid capacity under normal use conditions, meaning the 2.2-liter and 2.5-liter figures apply to standard operating environments rather than severe or heavy-duty service.
  • The capacities recorded across all rows reflect service fill volumes, representing the amount of fluid required when refilling the transaxle during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul drain-and-fill procedure.
