Mitsubishi Sigma (EU)

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Sigma (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity is 2 liters. Service intervals include checking at 20000 km and changing at 40000 km or 24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
Sigma 3.0 (1991-1996)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2 liter
  • Check 20000 km
  • Change 40000 km/ 24 months
  • Code: 5/1
Sigma 3.0 24V (1991-1996)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 2 liter
  • Check 20000 km
  • Change 40000 km/ 24 months
  • Code: 5/1

Additional Notes

  • Both the Sigma 3.0 and Sigma 3.0 24V carry a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2 liters, which is a service fill figure representing the working volume of the combined transmission and differential housing in a front-wheel-drive transaxle layout.
  • The Mitsubishi Sigma (EU) manual transaxle service schedule sets a fluid check interval at 20,000 km, which falls at the halfway point between drain cycles and serves as a routine level verification rather than a full fluid exchange.
  • The change interval is defined as 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, meaning time elapsed can trigger a fluid change independently of distance traveled.
  • Both engine variants, the 3.0 and the 3.0 24V, share identical capacity and interval specifications across the 1991-1996 model years, indicating no differentiation in transaxle fluid servicing between the two engine configurations.
  • All specifications for both variants are listed under normal use conditions, meaning the 40,000 km or 24-month change interval applies to standard operating environments rather than severe or demanding driving cycles.
