Hi, please can you help tell what type of transmission does this Suzuki uses, cat or ATF transmission? Secondly the fluid type and capacity it takes.

Thank you.

Suzuki recommends using Suzuki ATF 3317, which is the recommended automatic transmission fluid (ATF) for this model.

You can also use a high-quality Dexron VI or equivalent ATF.

The automatic transmission typically holds around 7.4 to 7.6 quarts (7.0 to 7.2 liters) when completely dry.

For a drain and refill, it usually takes about 4 to 4.5 quarts (3.8 to 4.3 liters).

Let us know if you need anything else.

If the transmission does not have dip stick it will have a plug on the side of the case or the plug in the bottom which is a level tube where the fluid gets pumped in and then drains out to the correct level.
