Scion XA (USA / CAN)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Scion XA (USA / CAN) automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2,9 to 6,85 liters. Service intervals include checking every 30000 miles or 36 months and changing every 60000 miles or 72 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Scion xA automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 6.85 liters, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit, including fluid held within the torque converter and valve body passages.
  • The service fill capacity of 2.9 liters is notably lower than the dry fill, representing only the fluid displaced during a routine drain procedure, where residual fluid remains trapped in the torque converter.
  • Across all NCP61 configurations covering 2004-2006, the dry fill and service fill capacities remain identical at 6.85 liters and 2.9 liters respectively, indicating no capacity variation between model years within the xA lineup.
  • Under normal use conditions, the automatic transaxle specifications for 2004-2006 include only a fluid check interval of 30,000 miles or 36 months, with no fluid change interval listed for that use condition.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 30,000-mile or 36-month check interval applies, and a fluid change interval of 60,000 miles or 72 months is additionally specified, a distinction absent from the normal use entries.
