Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Lancer (USA / CAN) automatic transaxle capacity is 7.7 liters across all configurations covered in the 2002-2007 model years, applying equally to the 2.0, 2.4, and Sportback 2.4 variants.
  • A 7.7-liter figure for an automatic transaxle represents a total system fill, accounting for fluid held within the torque converter, valve body, and transmission case combined, rather than a simple pan-drain service quantity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2.0 and 2.4 engine configurations share an identical service schedule: a fluid check at 30,000 miles or 24 months, with no separate change interval listed for normal use.
  • Under severe use conditions, the check interval for all listed configurations is halved to 15,000 miles or 12 months, while a fluid change is specified at 30,000 miles or 24 months.
  • The severe use designation introduces a fluid change requirement that is absent from the normal use schedule, meaning the change interval at 30,000 miles or 24 months is exclusive to severe operating conditions across all three configurations.
  • The Lancer Sportback 2.4 shares its automatic transaxle capacity and service intervals exactly with the standard Lancer 2.4, with both normal and severe schedules producing identical specifications between the two body styles.
