Additional Notes

  • A uniform front and rear differential fluid capacity of 1.5 liters applies across all Daihatsu Taft variants covered in these specifications, from the F10 through the F60/F65. This consistent figure across both axles and all model variants suggests a standardized differential housing size was carried through the entire generation.
  • The Taft F10 (1974-1978) rear differential carries a change interval of 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions. This is notably shorter than the 40,000 km or 24-month change interval specified for every other variant and axle position in the lineup.
  • The Taft F10 front differential lists a change interval of 200,000 km or 12 months under normal use. The 200,000 km figure stands apart from all other entries, which specify either 20,000 km or 40,000 km, and may reflect a data entry distinction worth noting when cross-referencing service documentation.
  • Beginning with the F20 (1976-1984), the change interval for both front and rear differentials shifts to 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions. The same 40,000 km / 24-month interval is then carried forward without variation through the F25, F50, F55, and F60/F65 variants.
  • The check interval is consistent across all variants and both axle positions: 10,000 km or every 6 months under normal use. This interval applies regardless of whether the change interval differs, as seen with the F10 rear differential.
  • The F25 (1979-1984) and F50/F55 (1978-1982) variants share identical differential specifications for both axles, with 1.5-liter capacity, 10,000 km / 6-month checks, and 40,000 km / 24-month changes. Despite representing different model designations, no variation in fluid service data separates them.
  • The F60/F65 designation covers two sub-variants under a single specification entry for 1982-1984. Both front and rear differentials on the F60/F65 follow the same 1.5-liter capacity and 40,000 km / 24-month change schedule that applies to the F20, F25, F50, and F55.
