Additional Notes

  • Both the 3.5 and 3.8 engine configurations share an identical dry fill capacity of 9.5 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a fully drained or rebuilt transaxle from empty.
  • The service fill capacity for the Oldsmobile Intrigue 3.5 (1999-2002) is 7 liters, reflecting the amount of fluid returned to the transaxle after a routine drain, where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and passages.
  • The 3.8 configuration (1997-1999) carries a slightly higher service fill capacity of 7.5 liters, a 0.5-liter difference compared to the 3.5, indicating a modest variation in the volume retained within the transaxle assembly between the two engine variants.
  • Under normal use conditions, both the 3.5 and 3.8 transaxle configurations share a 100,000-mile change interval, placing the fluid in a long-life service category relative to many conventional automatic transmission service schedules.
  • Under severe use conditions, the change interval for both configurations is reduced to 50,000 miles, exactly half the normal-use interval, applying to the same capacity figures as the normal-use rows for each respective engine.
