Additional Notes

  • The Citroën Type C (5CV) uses a transaxle configuration, meaning the manual transmission and drive axle share a single integrated housing rather than being separate units, and both are served by the same fluid fill.
  • The total fluid capacity for the transaxle is 0.5 liter, a notably small volume that reflects the compact mechanical scale of the drivetrain in this early light automobile.
  • The single capacity figure of 0.5 liter applies under normal use conditions, covering the standard service fill for the 1921-1926 production span without a separate overhaul or dry-fill distinction listed.
