  • Code: 4/1

Additional Notes

  • The Fiat Marea 185 1.6 16V carries an automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 4.3 liters, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul quantity, as transaxle overhauls typically require additional fluid to account for torque converter volume.
  • The check interval for the 1.6 16V automatic transaxle is set at 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, reflecting a routine inspection cadence rather than a fluid replacement schedule.
  • The change interval of 120,000 km or 72 months applies under normal use conditions, meaning the specification assumes standard driving patterns without the added thermal and mechanical stress associated with severe use.
  • The 72-month change interval translates to a six-year replacement cycle, which is notably long for automatic transmission fluid and reflects the sealed or semi-sealed nature of the transaxle unit in the 1.6 16V configuration.
  • The 1996-2003 production span of the Marea 185 1.6 16V corresponds to a single consistent set of automatic transaxle fluid specifications, with no variation in capacity or interval recorded across those model years.
