Additional Notes

  • The Scion iM 1.8 manual transaxle holds 2.4 liters of fluid across all configurations in both the USA and Canadian markets for 2015-2016, a capacity consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul volume.
  • In the Canadian market under normal use conditions, the manual transaxle is subject to a fluid check interval at 32,000 km, meaning the fluid level is inspected rather than replaced on that schedule.
  • Under severe use conditions in the Canadian market, the interval shifts from a check to a full fluid change at 30,000 miles or 36 months, whichever comes first.
  • In the USA market under normal use conditions, the manual transaxle fluid check interval is set at 30,000 miles or 36 months, aligning the distance and time thresholds together as a combined trigger.
  • USA severe use conditions carry the same 30,000-mile or 36-month interval as normal use, though the action required is a fluid change rather than a check.
  • The distinction between a check and a change across normal and severe use conditions reflects a meaningful difference in service scope, with severe use demanding full fluid replacement rather than inspection alone.
