Additional Notes

  • The Kia Clarus (EU) 2.0 16V (Parktown) carries a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2.7 liters, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul, as transaxle overhaul volumes typically run higher due to additional internal passages and housing cavities being drained completely.
  • The check interval for the manual transaxle fluid is set at 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, applying to normal use conditions across the 1996-2001 model years.
  • The change interval doubles the check interval, falling at 80,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning a full fluid replacement cycle spans four years or roughly two check periods.
  • The 2.0 16V (Parktown) variant is specifically noted as a transaxle configuration, meaning the manual gearbox and final drive share a common fluid reservoir, which is why the 2.7-liter capacity covers both functions within a single fill.
