Additional Notes

  • The rear differential on the Mazda 626 2.0i 16V 4WD holds 0.5 liter of fluid, a figure consistent with compact rear differential units where the housing volume is relatively small compared to front-engine, rear-drive platforms.
  • A check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months applies under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid level and condition are inspected well before a full drain and refill is due.
  • The change interval is set at 80,000 km or 48 months under normal use, placing the drain cycle at four times the frequency of the check interval on a distance basis.
  • The 48-month time limit on the change interval means that even low-mileage vehicles reach a mandatory fluid change point after four years regardless of distance accumulated.
  • The 0.5-liter capacity figure represents a service fill volume, applicable when refilling the rear differential during a routine fluid change rather than a full overhaul or unit replacement.
