Additional Notes
- The rear limited slip differential on the Maserati Kyalami 4200 holds 1.4 liters of fluid, a capacity consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul quantity, as overhaul procedures typically account for additional volume lost during disassembly.
- Under normal use conditions, the Kyalami 4200's rear differential fluid is specified for inspection at 5,000 km intervals, reflecting a monitoring schedule designed to catch early signs of fluid degradation or leakage before a full change is due.
- The change interval for the rear limited slip differential fluid is set at 20,000 km under normal use, placing the drain-and-refill cycle at four times the frequency of the inspection check, across the 1976-1983 production span.
- The limited slip designation in the differential note is relevant to fluid selection, as limited slip differentials require friction-modifier additives not always present in standard gear oils, making the 1.4-liter capacity figure specific to that unit type rather than a conventional open differential.
