Mitsubishi Colt (EU)

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Colt (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity is 2,3 liters. Service intervals include normal use. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

  • Code: 4/1
Colt 1400, A152/156 (1978-1984)
  • Use: Normal

  • Code: 2x4 (Economy/Power) 8/1

Additional Notes

  • All three configurations of the Mitsubishi Colt (EU) covered here share an identical manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2.3 liters under normal use conditions.
  • A transaxle combines the transmission and axle differential into a single housing, so the 2.3-liter figure represents the total fluid volume for that integrated unit rather than a standalone gearbox.
  • The Colt 1200 in A151/155 trim, spanning 1978-1984, carries the same 2.3-liter transaxle capacity as the larger-displacement 1400 variants, indicating a shared or dimensionally equivalent transaxle design across engine sizes.
  • The Colt 1400 Turbo in A152 trim, covering 1982-1984, shares the 2.3-liter capacity with the naturally aspirated 1400 in A152/156 trim despite the addition of forced induction, suggesting the turbo variant did not require a higher-capacity transmission unit.
  • The 2.3-liter capacity across all listed configurations is consistent with a service fill specification, meaning the volume expected when draining and refilling during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul with complete disassembly.
  • All three rows are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the stated 2.3-liter capacity and associated service intervals apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles such as towing or extreme temperatures.
