Additional Notes

  • The manual transaxle fluid capacity for the Toyota Corolla iM 1.8 VVT-i is 2.4 liters across all listed configurations, covering both the Canadian and US markets for 2016-2018. A consistent capacity across market variants typically reflects a shared transmission unit.
  • The Canadian specification for the 1.8 VVT-i sets a check interval of 16,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, while the US normal-use specification calls for a check at 30,000 miles or 36 months. Both intervals carry no listed change requirement, meaning inspection alone satisfies the service requirement under normal conditions in each respective market.
  • The US severe-use specification introduces a fluid change requirement at 30,000 miles or 36 months, a step absent from the US normal-use row. Under severe conditions, a check is also required at the earlier threshold of 15,000 miles or 18 months, making the severe schedule a two-stage service cycle compared to the single-stage normal schedule.
  • The Canadian check interval of 16,000 km or 12 months is notably more frequent on a time basis than the US normal-use interval of 36 months, reflecting a difference in how each market's service schedule is structured rather than any difference in the transmission hardware or fluid capacity.
