Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Galant VIII (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacity is 2.2 liters across all four engine variants covered in the 1996-2004 specifications, indicating a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill figure.
  • The 2.2-liter capacity figure applies uniformly to the 2.0 Turbo Diesel, 2.0i SOHC-16V, 2.4 GDi, and 2.5i V6-24V configurations, with no variation tied to engine displacement or cylinder count.
  • Each variant carries a fluid check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, meaning the transaxle level is inspected annually or at each major service visit, whichever comes first.
  • The fluid change interval is set at 105,000 km or 84 months under normal use conditions, placing a full drain-and-refill on a seven-year or approximately 65,000-mile cycle.
  • The 84-month change interval translates to a relatively extended service life for the manual transaxle fluid, which is consistent with the sealed or semi-sealed transaxle designs common in front-wheel-drive vehicles of the era.
  • The 2.4 GDi variant entered the specification range in 1999, while the remaining three engine variants share the earlier 1996 start year, yet all four converge on identical capacity and interval figures.
  • The check interval of 15,000 km aligns with a standard annual maintenance schedule, allowing fluid condition and level to be monitored well before the 105,000 km change threshold is reached.
