Mitsubishi Space Star (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Space Star (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 7,7 to 7,8 liters. Service intervals include checks every 15000 km or 12 months and changes every 45000 to 90000 km or 36 to 72 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Space Star (EU) automatic transaxle fluid capacity falls within a narrow range across engine variants, sitting at either 7.7 or 7.8 liters depending on the engine fitted.
  • The 1.6 engine covering 2002-2006 carries a slightly lower transaxle capacity of 7.7 liters, while the 1.8 GDi and 1.9 DI-D engines both specify 7.8 liters.
  • A transaxle capacity in the 7.7-7.8 liter range reflects a total system fill, meaning the figure accounts for fluid held throughout the entire unit including the torque converter, rather than a simple drain-and-refill service quantity.
  • The 1.8 GDi covering 1998-2002 is the only variant in the specifications carrying both a normal and a severe use condition entry, with the severe condition halving the change interval to 45000 km or 36 months against the normal condition's 90000 km or 72 months.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1.8 GDi (1998-2002) and 1.9 DI-D (2001-2006) share an identical service schedule, with fluid checks at 15000 km or 12 months and changes at 90000 km or 72 months.
  • The 1.6 (2002-2006) follows the same normal-use check and change intervals as the other variants, at 15000 km or 12 months for checks and 90000 km or 72 months for changes.
  • Across all three engine variants under normal use, the fluid check interval of 15000 km or 12 months means an annual inspection cadence regardless of mileage accumulation.
  • The severe-use change interval for the 1.8 GDi at 45000 km or 36 months represents exactly half the distance and half the time of the normal-use interval, indicating a proportional rather than arbitrary adjustment for more demanding operating conditions.
