Additional Notes

  • Both the 2.0 16V Turbo and the 2.4 16V engines in the Saturn Sky (USA) share an identical automatic transmission fluid capacity of 8.5 liters, indicating a common transmission unit across the two engine configurations for the 2006-2009 model years.
  • A capacity figure of 8.5 liters is consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul or dry fill, as complete transmission rebuilds typically require a notably higher volume to account for fluid retained in the torque converter and all internal passages.
  • The specified change interval for both configurations is 100,000 miles, applied under normal use conditions, meaning the interval reflects standard everyday driving rather than elevated-stress operation such as towing or frequent stop-and-go traffic.
