Additional Notes

  • The Suzuki Vitara 1.6 from 1991 carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 2.8 liters, which is a service fill figure representing the amount needed during a fluid change rather than a full overhaul refill.
  • All other configurations across the 1.6 16V, 2.0 16V, 2.0 TD, and 2.0 V6 engines share a uniform automatic transmission fluid capacity of 2.5 liters, placing the 1991 1.6 variant noticeably above the rest at 2.8 liters.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1991 Vitara 1.6 and the 1.6 16V both specify a fluid check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, alongside a change interval set at 160,000 km.
  • The 160,000 km change interval under normal use applies equally to the 2.0 16V, 2.0 TD, and 2.0 V6 configurations, with the same 10,000 km or 6-month check schedule accompanying each.
  • Severe use conditions for the 1991 Vitara 1.6 reduce the change interval dramatically to 20,000 km or 12 months, compared to the 160,000 km interval specified for normal use, reflecting the accelerated fluid degradation associated with demanding operating conditions.
  • The 1.6 16V under severe use carries the same 20,000 km or 12-month change interval as the 1991 1.6, with no separate check interval listed for severe use in either configuration.
  • The 2.0 TD and 2.0 V6 variants have no severe use interval listed in the specifications, with only normal use data present for both.
  • The 2.0 16V, introduced in 1997-1998, shares the same 2.5-liter capacity and identical normal and severe use intervals as the 1.6 16V, despite the difference in engine displacement.
