Mitsubishi 3000GT (USA / CAN)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi 3000GT (USA / CAN) automatic transmission fluid capacity is 7,5 liters. Service intervals include checking every 15000 miles or 12 months and changing every 30000 miles. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Across all listed configurations of the Mitsubishi 3000GT (USA / CAN), the automatic transaxle fluid capacity is 7.5 liters, a figure that applies uniformly to the base 3000GT and the SL trim across both the 1990-1996 and 1997-1999 model year groupings.
  • A 7.5-liter transaxle capacity is relatively substantial for a passenger vehicle automatic transmission, reflecting the fluid volume required to fill the torque converter, valve body, and internal passages of a transaxle unit rather than a simple drain-and-refill service quantity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specified service action is a fluid check at intervals of 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, rather than a full fluid change.
  • Under severe use conditions, the specified service action shifts to a full fluid change at 30,000 miles, indicating a more demanding maintenance requirement tied to harder operating environments.
  • The 3000GT SL carries the same 7.5-liter capacity and identical service intervals as the base 3000GT for both the 1990-1996 and 1997-1999 periods, meaning trim level alone does not differentiate the automatic transaxle fluid specifications.
  • The normal-use interval structure, combining a mileage threshold with a fixed 12-month calendar limit, means a fluid check is due at whichever milestone arrives first, regardless of how few miles have been driven within that year.
