Additional Notes

  • The Maserati Kyalami AM 129 4200 carries a manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.8 liters, which is consistent with a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill figure, meaning the gearbox is being topped or refilled during routine maintenance rather than rebuilt from empty.
  • Under normal use conditions, the inspection interval for the manual transmission fluid is set at every 5,000 km, establishing a relatively frequent check cycle relative to the change interval.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use is specified at 20,000 km, placing the drain-and-refill service at four times the distance of each fluid level check.
  • The 4,200 km gap between each check interval and the full change interval means the transmission fluid level is inspected at least three times before a complete fluid replacement is due.
  • The single capacity figure of 1.8 liters applies uniformly across the entire 1976-1983 production span of the Kyalami 4200, with no variation recorded across model years within that range.
