Additional Notes

  • The Chrysler Sunbeam (USA / CAN) rear differential holds 0.85 liter across all listed engine variants, covering the 1.0, 1.3, 1.6, and 1600 Ti configurations for the 1977-1980 model years.
  • A capacity figure tied to a "filled for life" designation, as seen across all four variants, indicates the factory fill is not intended to be drained and replaced on a routine service schedule.
  • Despite the filled-for-life status, a fluid level check interval of 7500 km is specified for every variant, meaning periodic inspection of the rear differential is still part of the service routine.
  • The 1600 Ti, which entered the lineup in 1978 rather than 1977, shares the identical 0.85-liter rear differential capacity and 7500 km check interval as the earlier 1.0, 1.3, and 1.6 variants.
  • The uniform 0.85-liter capacity across all engine displacements from 1.0 to 1.6 suggests a common rear differential unit was used throughout the Sunbeam range during the 1977-1980 period.
