Additional Notes

  • The Suzuki Alto SB manual transaxle fluid capacity is 2 liters across both the 1979-1985 and 1985-1989 model ranges, a figure consistent with the compact transaxle units found in kei-class vehicles of that era.
  • A check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, applies to both generation configurations under normal use conditions.
  • The fluid change interval is set at 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use, meaning a full drain-and-fill cycle is expected roughly every two years in standard driving conditions.
  • The 1979-1985 and 1985-1989 Alto SB share identical capacity and interval figures, indicating no change in manual transaxle service requirements between those two production periods.
