Additional Notes

  • The Subaru BRZ manual transmission fluid capacity is 2.2 liters across all listed configurations, spanning both the 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter engine variants. A consistent fill volume like 2.2 liters typically reflects a service fill level rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill capacity, which would account for residual fluid left in the unit during a drain.
  • For the 2.0-liter BRZ covering 2012-2014, the normal use condition specifies a fluid check interval of 22,500 miles or 24 months, without a mandatory change requirement at that interval.
  • Under severe use conditions for the 2012-2014 2.0-liter BRZ, a fluid change is required at 15,000 miles, with no time-based interval paired alongside the mileage figure in those specifications.
  • Starting with the 2014-2015 2.0-liter BRZ, the normal use check interval increased from 22,500 miles to 24,000 miles, while the 24-month time component remained unchanged. The severe use change interval also gained a time-based component of 15 months alongside the existing 15,000-mile trigger.
  • The 24,000-mile or 24-month check interval under normal use conditions, and the 15,000-mile or 15-month change interval under severe use conditions, remained consistent across the 2014-2015, 2015-2019, 2019-2020, and 2021 2.4-liter BRZ specifications.
  • The 2.4-liter BRZ introduced from 2021 carries the same 2.2-liter manual transmission fluid capacity as all prior 2.0-liter configurations, indicating no change in gearbox fill volume despite the engine displacement increase.
