Mitsubishi Eclipse (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Eclipse (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity is 6,1 liters. Service intervals include checks every 15000 km or 12 months, and fluid changes at 45000 km or 36 months and 90000 km or 72 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 automatic transaxle fluid capacity across all three Mitsubishi Eclipse (EU) configurations covered here is 6.1 liters, a figure that reflects a full service fill of the transaxle assembly rather than a partial drain-and-refill quantity.
  • The 2WD and 4WD variants of the 2.0i DOHC-16V from 1989-1994 share an identical fluid change interval of 45,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions, meaning the drivetrain layout had no bearing on the scheduled ATF renewal frequency for those model years.
  • The 1994-1998 Eclipse 2.0i DOHC-16V carries a fluid change interval of 90,000 km or 72 months under normal use, which is exactly double the interval specified for the 1989-1994 variants, indicating a significant revision to the maintenance schedule between the two production periods.
  • Despite the change interval doubling from the earlier to the later production period, the fluid check interval remained consistent at 15,000 km or 12 months across all three configurations, keeping routine inspection frequency unchanged regardless of model year.
  • The 6.1-liter capacity figure applies uniformly to both the 2WD and 4WD versions of the 1989-1994 Eclipse 2.0i DOHC-16V, indicating no difference in transaxle fluid volume between the two drivetrain configurations.
