Additional Notes

  • The Subaru Impreza GJ/GP (EU) 1.6i manual transaxle carries a capacity range of 3.5–4 liters across the 2013-2016 model years. A stated range rather than a fixed value typically reflects variation between a drain-and-refill service fill and the full system capacity measured during an overhaul or dry fill.
  • The 1.6i FWD variant uses a fixed capacity of 3.3 liters for the manual transaxle, compared to the 3.5–4 liter range specified for the standard 1.6i. The difference points to a distinct transaxle unit in the front-wheel-drive configuration, which omits the rear differential and associated fluid volume present in the all-wheel-drive layout.
  • The 2.0i manual transaxle also carries a 3.3 liter capacity across both the 2012-2014 and 2015-2016 model year groups, aligning with the FWD 1.6i rather than the standard 1.6i despite the larger engine displacement.
  • All six configurations share an identical service schedule under normal use conditions: a fluid level check at 30,000 km or 24 months, and a full fluid change at 60,000 km or 48 months. The dual-trigger format means whichever threshold is reached first governs the service interval.
  • The check interval at 30,000 km or 24 months represents the midpoint between fluid changes, allowing for early detection of fluid loss or contamination without a full drain-and-refill at every service visit.
  • Capacity specifications remain unchanged between the 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 model year groups for each respective configuration, indicating no transaxle redesign or fluid volume revision occurred across the GJ/GP production span covered by these specifications.
