Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Pony rear differential holds either 1.1 liters or 1.0 liter depending on the production period, with the 1.1-liter figure applying to both the 1.2 and 1.4 engine variants built between 1980-1984.
  • Both the 1.2 and 1.4 engine variants produced from 1984-1985 share a reduced rear differential capacity of 1.0 liter, a slight decrease from the 1.1-liter figure seen in earlier units of the same engines.
  • The 40,000 km change interval applies uniformly across all four configurations under normal use conditions, covering both the 1.2 and 1.4 engine variants across the full 1980-1985 span.
  • A rear differential capacity in the range of 1.0-1.1 liters is consistent with a compact rear axle housing, typical of small rear-wheel-drive vehicles of the era.
  • The capacity difference between the pre-1984 and post-1984 units, 0.1 liter, is small in absolute terms but reflects a distinct specification change applied equally to both the 1.2 and 1.4 engine variants at the same model year boundary.
