Additional Notes

  • The Fiat 1300 (116) and 1500 (115), both covering 1961-1967, share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.35 liters, which is the largest fill volume across all configurations in the range.
  • The 1500S Cabriolet (118S), produced 1959-1963, carries the smallest transmission fluid capacity in the range at 1.07 liters, paired with the shortest change interval of 20,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • The 1500 Coupe/Cabriolet (118H/K) and 1600S Coupe/Cabriolet (118SA/SB), both spanning 1963-1966, share a capacity of 1.1 liters and a 30,000 km change interval, despite being distinct engine variants.
  • The 1500S Cabriolet (118S) is the only configuration with a 20,000 km change interval under normal use, while all other variants in the range specify a 30,000 km change interval.
  • A split in check intervals exists across the range: the 1300 (116) and 1500 (115) specify fluid level checks every 10,000 km, while the coupe and cabriolet body variants specify checks every 5,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • The 1.35-liter capacity of the 1300 (116) and 1500 (115) transmissions is notably higher than the 1.1-liter figure for the coupe and cabriolet variants, reflecting differences in gearbox design between the sedan-based and sport-bodied configurations.
