Additional Notes
- The Vauxhall Mokka J13 automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 8 to 8.5 liters, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or newly assembled unit where no residual fluid remains in the torque converter or valve body.
- The service fill capacity of 4 to 6 liters is notably lower than the dry fill figure, indicating that a routine fluid change does not evacuate the entire system, leaving a portion of the old fluid retained within the torque converter.
- The 2-liter spread in the service fill range, from 4 to 6 liters, accounts for variation in how much fluid drains depending on the drain method used and the operating temperature of the transmission at the time of service.
- The check interval for the automatic transaxle fluid is specified at 12 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, applying uniformly across all engine variants listed for the 2012-2016 period.
- The 1.4 Turbo (103 kW) carries identical automatic transaxle fluid specifications across both the 2012-2014 and 2014-2016 production periods, with no change in dry fill capacity, service fill capacity, or check interval between the two spans.
- Both diesel variants, the 1.6 CDTI (100 kW) and the 1.7 CDTI (96 kW), share the same 8 to 8.5 liter dry fill and 4 to 6 liter service fill capacities as the petrol engines, pointing to a common transaxle unit across the powertrain range.
- The 1.8 (103 kW) 4x4 variant shares the same automatic transaxle fluid capacities and check interval as the front-wheel-drive configurations, with the 4x4 designation referring to the drivetrain layout rather than indicating a separate or larger transmission fluid requirement.
