Additional Notes

  • The Ford Pinto (USA) manual transmission fluid capacity is listed at 1.3 liters across all four configurations covered in the 1974-1980 specifications.
  • The 2.3-liter engine configurations span three separate year groupings — 1974-1976, 1977-1979, and 1980 — each carrying the same 1.3-liter manual transmission fluid capacity under normal use conditions.
  • The 2.8 V6 configuration, available for 1976-1979, shares the 1.3-liter manual transmission fluid capacity recorded for the 2.3-liter engine, indicating no variation between the four-cylinder and six-cylinder drivetrains in this regard.
  • A 1.3-liter manual transmission fluid capacity is a relatively modest fill volume, consistent with the compact gearbox designs typical of small-displacement vehicles from the mid-to-late 1970s.
  • All four rows carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the listed 1.3-liter capacity applies to standard operating circumstances rather than severe-duty or special-case service scenarios.
