Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Lancer CS0 (EU) 1.6 16V carries an automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 7.7 liters, a figure consistent with a full overhaul or dry fill rather than a routine drain-and-refill service, which typically recovers only a portion of total fluid volume.
  • Under normal use conditions, the automatic transaxle fluid change interval is set at 90,000 km or 72 months, whichever comes first, reflecting a relatively extended service cycle tied to stable, low-stress operating environments.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same transaxle fluid change interval is reduced to 45,000 km or 36 months, exactly half the normal-use interval in both distance and time, indicating a significantly accelerated replacement schedule for demanding operating conditions.
  • The fluid check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months applies to both normal and severe use conditions, remaining constant regardless of the differing change schedules assigned to each use category.
