Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Avensis T22 (EU) automatic transaxle fluid capacity is 3.1 liters across all listed engine variants, from the 1.6-liter to the 2.0 TD. A figure in this range is typical of a service fill, meaning the quantity required for a drain-and-refill procedure rather than a complete overhaul, which would normally require a higher volume to account for fluid retained in the torque converter.
  • The 1.6-liter variant (1997-2000) is the only configuration with a severe-use change interval specified. Under severe conditions, the automatic transaxle fluid change interval is halved to 30,000 km or 24 months, compared to the normal-use interval of 60,000 km or 48 months.
  • Under normal use, the 1.6-liter (1997-2000) and the 2.0 TD (1997-2000) share an identical service schedule: a fluid level check at 15,000 km or 12 months, and a full fluid change at 60,000 km or 48 months. The time-based change limit of 48 months applies to both of these variants.
  • The 1.8-liter (1997-2000), 1.8 16V VTT-i (2000-2002), 2.0 (1997-2000), and 2.0 16V VTT-i D4 (2000-2002) all carry a normal-use check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months and a change interval of 60,000 km, without a corresponding time-based change limit expressed in months.
  • The introduction of the 1.8 16V VTT-i and 2.0 16V VTT-i D4 variants from 2000 onward represents a generational update within the T22 range, yet the automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 3.1 liters and the 15,000 km or 12-month check interval remain unchanged relative to the earlier 1997-2000 petrol variants.
  • The 2.0 TD is the sole diesel-engined variant listed among the automatic transaxle configurations. Despite the differing combustion cycle and load characteristics of a turbodiesel engine, the transaxle fluid capacity of 3.1 liters and the normal-use service schedule align with those of the petrol variants sharing the same time-based change limit.
