Additional Notes
- The Pontiac Wave 1.6 (CAN) carries an automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 5.87 liters across both the 2005-2006 and 2007-2009 model year groups, meaning the specified volume remains consistent throughout the full 2005-2009 span covered by the data.
- A capacity figure of 5.87 liters is typical of a service fill, representing the amount of fluid needed during a routine drain-and-refill procedure rather than a complete overhaul, which would generally require a higher volume to account for fluid retained in the torque converter and passages.
- Both the 2005-2006 and 2007-2009 entries carry a normal use condition, meaning the 5.87-liter capacity specification applies under standard operating circumstances rather than severe-duty cycles such as frequent towing or extreme temperature exposure.
- The specifications cover only the 1.6-liter engine paired with an automatic transaxle in the Canadian market Wave, with no variation in fluid capacity recorded between the two model year groupings despite the split in how the years are categorized.
