Mitsubishi Galant VI (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Galant VI (EU) automatic transmission fluid has a capacity range of 5,8 to 6,1 liters. Service intervals consist of 40000 km/48 months and 45000 km/36 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Galant VI (EU) automatic transaxle fluid capacity splits into two distinct values across the model range: 5.8 liters for earlier configurations and 6.1 liters for later ones, with both figures representing full service fills for the transaxle unit rather than partial drain-and-fill quantities.
  • The Galant 1.8 (1987-1990), Galant 1.8 Turbo Diesel (1988-1992), and Galant 2.0i (1987-1990) all share an identical 5.8-liter capacity under normal use conditions, paired with a 40,000 km or 48-month change interval, whichever comes first.
  • The Galant 2.0i (1990-1993) carries a 6.1-liter transaxle capacity under normal use, an increase of 0.3 liters compared to the earlier 2.0i variant, alongside a revised change interval of 45,000 km or 36 months.
  • The Galant 1.8 (1990-1993) specifies a 6.1-liter capacity and a 45,000 km or 36-month interval, but only for vehicles produced up to September 1991, as indicated by the use condition applied to that row.
  • The 48-month time-based interval associated with the 5.8-liter configurations is notably longer than the 36-month interval tied to the 6.1-liter configurations, meaning the later transaxle variants require more frequent time-based fluid renewal despite a higher mileage threshold of 45,000 km versus 40,000 km.
  • The Galant 1.8 Turbo Diesel (1988-1992) shares its 5.8-liter capacity and 40,000 km or 48-month interval with the petrol-engined 1.8 and 2.0i variants from the same production period, indicating no diesel-specific deviation in automatic transaxle fluid service requirements for that generation.
