Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Lancer CS0 (EU) manual transaxle holds 2.1 liters of fluid across the 1.3 16V and 1.6 16V engine variants, both covering the 2003-2009 model years.
  • The 2.0 16V variant carries a slightly larger manual transaxle capacity of 2.2 liters, representing the only capacity difference across the three engine configurations in the CS0 lineup.
  • All three engine variants share an identical fluid check interval of every 15,000 km or 12 months, regardless of whether the use condition is normal or severe.
  • Under normal use conditions, the manual transaxle fluid change interval for all CS0 variants is 105,000 km or 84 months, which equals a seven-year or approximately 65,000-mile service cycle.
  • Under severe use conditions, the change interval shortens considerably to 45,000 km or 36 months across all variants, representing less than half the distance and exactly half the time allowed under normal use.
  • The 1.3 16V and 1.6 16V engines share not only the same 2.1-liter transaxle capacity but also identical check and change intervals under both normal and severe conditions, making the two configurations fully interchangeable from a fluid service standpoint.
  • The 2.0 16V variant extends through 2010, one model year beyond the 2003-2009 span of the 1.3 and 1.6 16V variants, while still following the same check and change interval schedule.
