Additional Notes

  • The Fiat Palio / Albea / Siena 178 (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacity across the 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 16V, and 1.7 TD variants is uniformly listed at 2 liters, indicating a consistent transaxle unit size across those four engine configurations.
  • The 1.3 JTD 16V variant carries a slightly lower transaxle fluid capacity of 1.98 liters, a marginal difference from the 2-liter figure shared by the other variants in the same lineup.
  • A transaxle designation means the gearbox and final drive share a common fluid sump, so the listed capacities reflect the combined volume for both functions rather than a standalone gearbox fill.
  • The 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 16V, and 1.7 TD variants all share a fluid check interval of 60,000 km under normal use conditions, placing routine inspection at relatively wide mileage intervals for a manual transmission system.
  • The 1.3 JTD 16V stands apart from the other variants with a fluid check interval of 80,000 km under normal use conditions, the longest interval specified across all five configurations.
  • All five configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the stated check intervals apply to standard operating environments rather than severe or demanding duty cycles.
  • The 1.7 TD is a turbocharged diesel variant, yet its transaxle fluid capacity and check interval match those of the petrol-powered 1.2 and 1.4 variants exactly, at 2 liters and 60,000 km respectively.
