Fiat 1300/1500(S)/1600S, 115/116/118 (EU)

Clutch fluid capacity & service interval

Fiat 1300/1500(S)/1600S, 115/116/118 (EU) models utilize clutch fluid with a capacity range of 0,13 to 0,22 liters. Service intervals consist of checks every 5000 km and 10000 km. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Fiat 1300/1500(S)/1600S clutch fluid system spans three distinct configurations across the 1959-1967 production range, each carrying its own capacity and inspection interval.
  • The 1300 (116) and 1500 (115) variants, both covering 1961-1967, share an identical hydraulic clutch fluid capacity of 0.22 liter, indicating a common reservoir and circuit volume across those two engine displacements.
  • The 1500S Cabriolet (118S), produced from 1959-1963, carries a noticeably smaller hydraulic clutch fluid capacity of 0.13 liter, nearly half the volume found in the 1300 and 1500 configurations.
  • The reduced 0.13 liter capacity in the 1500S Cabriolet (118S) aligns with a more frequent inspection interval of every 5,000 km, compared to the 10,000 km interval assigned to the 1300 and 1500 variants.
  • All three configurations are identified as hydraulic clutch systems, meaning fluid pressure rather than a mechanical cable is used to actuate clutch disengagement, making fluid level integrity a functional requirement rather than a routine preference.
  • The 10,000 km check interval on the 1300 and 1500 variants reflects a standard maintenance cadence typical of hydraulic systems with larger fluid reserves, where the greater volume provides a wider tolerance before low-level conditions affect operation.
  • All three rows are rated for normal use conditions, meaning the stated capacities and inspection intervals apply to standard operating environments without adjustment for severe or demanding driving cycles.
