Mitsubishi Space Runner (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Space Runner (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 6,1 to 7,8 liters. Service intervals include checks at 15000 km or 12 months, and fluid changes at 45000 km or 36 months and 90000 km or 72 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Space Runner (EU) 1.8 automatic transaxle holds 6.1 liters, a notably smaller capacity than the two later engine variants, which reflects the physically smaller transmission unit paired with the 1.8-liter engine.
  • Both the 2.0 16V and 2.4 GDi variants share an identical automatic transaxle capacity of 7.8 liters, representing a 1.7-liter increase over the 1.8 specification.
  • The 1.8 variant carries a fluid change interval of 45,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions, which is considerably shorter than the intervals assigned to the later engine configurations.
  • The 2.0 16V and 2.4 GDi variants both carry a fluid change interval of 90,000 km or 72 months under normal use conditions, double the distance and time interval of the 1.8 specification.
  • All three configurations share the same fluid check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, regardless of engine size or model year range.
  • The 6.1-liter figure for the 1.8 represents a service fill capacity, meaning the volume required when servicing the transaxle without a full overhaul disassembly, as is standard for automatic transmission fluid specifications of this type.
  • The shift from a 45,000 km change interval on the 1991-1998 1.8 to a 90,000 km interval on the 1999-2002 engines reflects a generational difference in transmission design and fluid specification requirements between the two production periods.
