Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Carisma (EU) 1.9 DI-D carries the largest automatic transaxle fluid capacity in the lineup at 7.8 liters, which is consistent with a full overhaul or dry-fill figure rather than a routine service top-up volume.
  • The 1.8i SOHC (1995-1999) has a transaxle capacity of 6 liters, placing it between the 4.3-liter figures seen on the 1.6i variants and the 7.8-liter figure of the 1.9 DI-D.
  • Across both the 1995-1999 and 1999-2005 generations of the 1.6i, the automatic transaxle capacity holds at 4.3 liters, indicating no change in the transmission unit between those two production periods.
  • The 1.8 GDi (1999-2005) shares the same 4.3-liter transaxle capacity and 90,000 km / 72-month change interval under normal use as the 1.6i variants, despite being a different engine configuration.
  • Under normal use conditions, the fluid change interval for the 1.6i automatic transaxle is 90,000 km or 72 months, while the check interval is set at 15,000 km or 12 months across both the 1995-1999 and 1999-2005 variants.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 1.6i (1995-1999 and 1999-2005) fluid change interval is halved to 45,000 km or 36 months, and the check interval is reduced to 7,500 km or 6 months, reflecting the increased thermal and mechanical stress associated with severe operating conditions.
  • The 1.9 DI-D (2001-2005) and the 1.8i SOHC (1995-1999) each carry only a normal use specification in the data, with no severe use interval listed for either variant.
