Additional Notes

  • The Fiat Cinquecento 700 (1992-1998) transaxle holds 1.4 liters of manual transmission fluid, which is notably lower than the 2.4-liter capacity shared by the 900 and 1100 Sporting variants.
  • The 2.4-liter transaxle capacity found in the Cinquecento 900 and 1100 Sporting reflects a larger gearbox unit relative to the 700, despite all three sharing the same transaxle-type layout.
  • Across all three variants, the fluid check interval is set at 45,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The fluid change interval for the Cinquecento 900 (1992-1998) and 700 (1992-1998) is specified at 120,000 km under normal use, with no time-based change interval listed alongside the distance figure.
  • The Cinquecento 1100 Sporting (1994-1998) carries an additional time-based change interval of 96 months alongside the 120,000 km distance figure, making the change schedule more explicitly dual-criteria compared to the 700 and 900.
  • The 1100 Sporting entered the Cinquecento lineup in 1994, two years after the 700 and 900, and carries the same 2.4-liter transaxle capacity as the 900 despite being a higher-performance variant.
