Compare recorded specifications
Compare the documented configurations below, then open an exact configuration for its full specification sheet.
These EPA records identify engine and transmission combinations, not factory trim badges. Gasoline, HX, Si, Hybrid and CNG applications keep their own source limits; a blank value cannot be taken from another row. Displacement may retain the EPA record's rounded value. Recorded change/refill quantities must not be used as dry-fill or total-system capacities. Read each fluid value's source and conditions, then open the exact guide for available service information and unresolved requirements.
Open a value to see its source and locator. Unrecorded values remain unknown. Scroll sideways within the table to compare all fields. Keyboard users can focus the table region and use the arrow keys.
