Mitsubishi Eclipse (EU)

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Eclipse (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2 to 2,3 liters. Service intervals include checks every 15000 km or 12 months and fluid changes at 45000 km or 36 months and 75000 km or 60 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 Mitsubishi Eclipse (EU) 2.0i DOHC-16V produced from 1994-1998 carries a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2.0 liters, which is the smallest capacity figure across all three listed configurations.
  • Both the 2WD and 4WD variants of the 2.0i DOHC-16V from 1989-1994 share a larger manual transaxle capacity of 2.3 liters, indicating a physically different transaxle unit compared to the later 1994-1998 generation.
  • All three configurations specify a fluid check interval of every 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, making the check schedule consistent regardless of drivetrain or model year.
  • The 2WD variant from 1989-1994 and the later 1994-1998 model share the same fluid change interval of 75,000 km or 60 months under normal use conditions.
  • The 4WD variant from 1989-1994 carries a notably shorter fluid change interval of 45,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions, compared to the 75,000 km or 60-month interval specified for the 2WD configuration of the same period.
  • The difference in change intervals between the 4WD and 2WD configurations of the 1989-1994 generation reflects that four-wheel-drive transaxle assemblies are generally subject to greater mechanical stress, which is consistent with the more frequent service interval assigned to the 4WD unit.
