Proton Saga, II

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Proton Saga, II manual transmission fluid capacity is 2,1 liters. Service intervals include checking every 9000 miles or 12 months and changing 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 1.3 and 1.6 engine variants of the Proton Saga II share an identical manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2.1 liters, indicating a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry fill figure.
  • A 2.1-liter service fill is a relatively modest capacity, consistent with compact front-wheel-drive transaxle designs where the gearbox and differential share a common fluid sump.
  • Under normal use conditions, the fluid check interval is set at 9,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, applying equally across both engine configurations for the 2008-2016 period.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use is 27,000 miles or 36 months, which works out to a three-year or three-service-cycle replacement schedule when following the 9,000-mile check cadence.
  • The 27,000-mile change interval is three times the 9,000-mile check interval, meaning the fluid is inspected at least twice between each scheduled change, allowing condition monitoring before a full replacement is due.
  • No specification variation exists between the 1.3 and 1.6 engine variants across capacity, check interval, or change interval, suggesting both engines were paired with the same manual transaxle unit throughout the 2008-2016 production span.
