Additional Notes

  • The Toyota MR2 W20 (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacity is listed as a range of 2.1–2.6 liters for the 2.0i engine across 1990-1999, while the 2.2i engine from 1991-1999 carries a fixed capacity of 2.6 liters.
  • A ranged capacity value such as 2.1–2.6 liters on the 2.0i transaxle typically reflects variation between a service refill and a full drain-and-fill, where the lower figure represents a partial service and the upper figure represents a complete overhaul fill.
  • The fixed 2.6-liter capacity on the 2.2i transaxle suggests a single defined fill volume, leaving no margin for partial service variation as seen in the 2.0i specification.
  • For the 2.0i under normal use conditions, the fluid change interval is set at 80,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2.0i transaxle fluid change interval shortens to 50,000 km or 30 months, representing a reduction of 30,000 km and 18 months compared to the normal use schedule.
  • The 2.2i transaxle under normal use conditions shares the same 80,000 km or 48-month change interval as the 2.0i normal schedule.
  • Across all three rows, the fluid check interval is consistent at 10,000 km or 12 months, regardless of engine variant or use condition.
