Proton Saga, II

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Proton Saga, II uses automatic transmission fluid with a capacity of 7,7 liters. Service intervals include checks every 9000 miles or 12 months and changes every 27000 miles or 36 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Both the Proton Saga II 1.3 and 1.6 share an identical automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 7.7 liters, which is a relatively substantial fill volume consistent with a full transaxle assembly that integrates the transmission and differential into a single housing.
  • A 7.7-liter capacity in an automatic transaxle context typically reflects a total system fill rather than a partial service fill, meaning the figure accounts for fluid held within the torque converter, valve body, and gear train collectively.
  • The fluid check interval is set at 9,000 miles or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, establishing a once-yearly minimum inspection frequency for both engine variants.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use is 27,000 miles or 36 months, which places a full drain-and-fill cycle at roughly every three years for drivers operating within standard conditions.
  • The ratio between the check interval and the change interval is exactly 3:1, meaning three inspection cycles occur for every one fluid replacement cycle across both the 1.3 and 1.6 configurations.
  • The specifications apply identically across the 1.3 and 1.6 engine variants for the 2008-2016 model years, indicating no differentiation in automatic transaxle service requirements between the two displacements.
