Additional Notes

  • The automatic transmission fluid capacity for the Subaru BRZ is 7.5 liters across all listed configurations, from the 2.0-liter models starting in 2012 through the 2.4-liter model starting in 2021.
  • A 7.5-liter fill quantity in an automatic transmission typically reflects a service fill rather than a full overhaul capacity, meaning the figure accounts for fluid retained in the torque converter and valve body during a standard drain-and-fill procedure.
  • On 2.0-liter models from 2012-2019 under normal use conditions, the check interval is set at 30,000 miles or 30 months, with a change interval at 60,000 miles or 60 months.
  • Beginning with the 2019-2020 model year range, the normal-use check interval for the 2.0-liter automatic extended to 36,000 miles or 36 months, and the change interval moved to 66,000 miles or 66 months.
  • The 2.4-liter BRZ starting in 2021 carries the same 36,000-mile or 36-month check interval and 66,000-mile or 66-month change interval as the later 2.0-liter specification, despite the engine displacement increase.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2012-2014 BRZ 2.0 automatic transmission fluid change interval drops sharply to 15,000 miles, which is one-quarter of the 60,000-mile normal-use change interval for the same model years.
  • The severe-use specification for the 2012-2014 BRZ 2.0 does not list a separate check interval, only a change interval of 15,000 miles, whereas the normal-use specification for the same period includes both a check and a change milestone.
  • The 2012-2014 and 2014-2015 BRZ 2.0 configurations share identical normal-use specifications, with a 7.5-liter capacity, a 30,000-mile or 30-month check, and a 60,000-mile or 60-month change interval.
