Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Avensis Verso M20 automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 8.6 liters, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit, including the torque converter and all internal passages.
  • The service fill capacity is listed at 3.5 liters, which represents the amount of fluid displaced during a routine drain-and-refill procedure, where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and valve body.
  • The gap between the 8.6-liter dry fill and the 3.5-liter service fill means that a standard service exchange replaces roughly 40 percent of the total fluid volume in the transaxle.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specification for the 2001-2003 Avensis Verso 2.0 16V VTT-i includes only a fluid check interval of 45,000 km or 36 months, with no change interval listed for that use condition.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 2001-2003 configuration adds a fluid change interval of 90,000 km or 72 months on top of the 45,000 km or 36-month check interval.
  • The 2003-2006 Avensis Verso 2.0 16V VTT-i carries identical capacity figures and service intervals to the 2001-2003 variant, with the same 45,000 km or 36-month check under normal use and the 90,000 km or 72-month change under severe use.
  • The severe use change interval of 90,000 km or 72 months is exactly double the check interval of 45,000 km or 36 months, meaning a fluid change under severe conditions coincides with every second scheduled check.
