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

Type	Specifications
Wave 1.6 (CAN) (2007-2009)	Use: Normal Capacity 1,8 liter Code: 5/1
Wave 1.6 (CAN) (2005-2006)	Use: Normal Capacity 1,8 liter Code: 5/1

The Pontiac Wave (CAN) with the 1.6-liter engine carries a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 1.8 liters across both the 2005-2006 and 2007-2009 model year groups.
A capacity of 1.8 liters is consistent with a service fill figure, meaning the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling the transaxle during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul with complete disassembly.
Both the 2005-2006 and 2007-2009 Canadian-market configurations share an identical 1.8-liter manual transaxle capacity, indicating no change in the transmission's fluid volume requirement across the full 2005-2009 production span.
The specifications are designated for normal use conditions, which in fluid service contexts generally refers to standard on-road driving as opposed to severe-duty cycles such as frequent towing, extreme temperatures, or sustained high-load operation.
