Additional Notes

  • The Fiat 130 (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity splits into two distinct values across the model range: 1.1 liters for the 2900 engine variants and 1.6 liters for the 3200 and Coupé variants, reflecting the difference in gearbox size between the two engine families.
  • The 130 2900 rated at 103 kW, covering the 1969-1970 period, carries a 1.1-liter manual transmission fluid capacity under normal use conditions.
  • The 130 2900 rated at 119 kW, spanning 1970-1971, shares the same 1.1-liter capacity and identical service intervals as the lower-output 2900, despite the difference in power output.
  • The 130 3200, introduced for 1971-1977, requires 1.6 liters of manual transmission fluid, a 45 percent increase over the 2900 variants, consistent with a larger displacement engine pairing requiring a more substantial gearbox.
  • The 130 Coupé BC, also spanning 1971-1977, matches the 3200 saloon exactly at 1.6 liters capacity with the same check and change intervals, indicating a shared transmission specification between the two bodystyles of that era.
  • Across all four configurations, the fluid check interval is set at 10,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning the transmission level was expected to be inspected at each of those intervals rather than only at change points.
  • The fluid change interval of 30,000 km applies uniformly across all configurations under normal use conditions, placing each change at every third check interval.
