Mitsubishi Space Star (EU)

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Space Star (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2,1 to 3,4 liters. Service intervals include checks every 15000 km or 12 months and changes every 105000 km or 84 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) manual transaxle fluid capacity splits into two distinct groups across the engine range: the 1.3 and 1.6 petrol variants share a 3.4-liter fill, while the 1.8 GDi and 1.9 DI-D sit noticeably lower at 2.2 liters and 2.1 liters respectively.
  • A 3.4-liter transaxle capacity, as seen in the 1.3 and 1.6 variants, is a relatively large fill for a compact manual unit, which generally points to a physically larger gearbox housing or an integrated differential sump sharing the same fluid volume.
  • The 1.8 GDi transaxle holds 2.2 liters under normal use conditions, and a fluid change interval of 105,000 km or 84 months applies alongside a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months.
  • The 1.9 DI-D transaxle holds 2.1 liters under normal use conditions, and the specifications for the diesel variant include only a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months, with no fluid change interval listed.
  • The check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months is consistent across all four engine variants under normal use conditions, meaning fluid level verification is scheduled at the same frequency regardless of engine type or displacement.
  • The 105,000 km or 84-month change interval, present in the 1.3, 1.6, and 1.8 GDi rows, represents a 7-year or roughly 65,000-mile service cycle, which is a moderately extended drain period for a manual transaxle under normal use conditions.
  • The 1.6 variant, covering 2002-2006, shares an identical capacity and interval specification with the 1.3 variant spanning 1998-2006, despite the difference in engine displacement and production window.
