Mitsubishi Galant V (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Galant V (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity is 5,8 liters. Service intervals are 40000 km or 48 months and 40000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
Galant 1.6 (1985-1987)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 5,8 liter
  • Change 40000 km/ 48 months
  • Code: 3/1
Galant 2.0 (1985-1987)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 5,8 liter
  • Change 40000 km
  • Code: 3/1

Additional Notes

  • Both the 1.6 and 2.0 engine variants of the Mitsubishi Galant V (EU) share an identical automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 5.8 liters, indicating a full service fill figure for the transaxle unit rather than a partial drain-and-refill quantity.
  • The Galant 1.6 automatic transaxle carries a dual-condition change interval of 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would trigger a fluid change under standard operating conditions.
  • The Galant 2.0 automatic transaxle specifies a change interval of 40,000 km under normal use, with no accompanying time-based interval stated alongside the distance figure.
  • A 5.8-liter capacity for an automatic transaxle in a mid-1980s front-wheel-drive configuration reflects the combined housing of the transmission and differential within a single unit, which typically requires a larger fluid volume than a conventional rear-wheel-drive automatic gearbox of the same era.
  • The normal use designation applied to both configurations refers to standard driving conditions, as opposed to severe or demanding duty cycles, and the 40,000 km interval is calibrated accordingly for those conditions.
