Mitsubishi Galant VIII (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Galant VIII (EU) requires 7,8 liters of automatic transmission fluid. Service intervals include checks every 15000 km or 12 months and changes every 90000 km or 72 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Galant VIII (EU) automatic transaxle carries a fluid capacity of 7.8 liters across the 2.0i SOHC-16V, 2.4 GDi, and 2.5i V6-24V engine variants.
  • A 7.8-liter figure for an automatic transaxle typically reflects a total system fill, accounting for fluid held within the torque converter, valve body, and transmission pan combined.
  • The 2.0i SOHC-16V and 2.5i V6-24V share the same 7.8-liter capacity despite differing significantly in displacement and cylinder configuration, indicating a common transaxle unit is used across both variants for the 1996-2004 model years.
  • The 2.4 GDi, introduced in 1999, also carries the same 7.8-liter automatic transaxle capacity, aligning with the specification shared by the other two engine variants.
  • Under normal use conditions, the automatic transaxle fluid check interval is set at 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, for all three engine variants.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use conditions is 90,000 km or 72 months across all three variants, meaning a full fluid replacement is due approximately every six years or every 90,000 km of driving.
  • The ratio between the check interval (15,000 km) and the change interval (90,000 km) means the transaxle fluid is inspected six times before a full replacement is due under normal use conditions.
