MG Midget T, TC/TD/TF Midget

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

MG Midget T, TC/TD/TF Midget differential fluid capacity is 1,28 liters. Service intervals occur every 10000 km. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The MG Midget TC, TD, TF, and TF 1500 variants all share an identical rear differential fluid capacity of 1.28 liters, which is consistent with a service fill specification rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill figure.
  • Across all four configurations spanning 1945-1955, the rear differential change interval is rated at 10,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • The TC Midget (1945-1950) and TD Midget (1950-1953) carry the same 1.28-liter rear differential capacity and 10,000 km interval, indicating no mechanical revision to the differential assembly between those two generations.
  • The TF Midget (1953-1955) and the TF 1500 Midget (1954-1955) are listed as separate configurations yet share the same 1.28-liter capacity and 10,000 km service interval, reflecting that the engine displacement difference between the two TF variants did not alter the rear differential specification.
  • A 1.28-liter rear differential capacity is a relatively modest fill volume, characteristic of the compact rear axle assemblies found in small British sports cars of the mid-twentieth century.
  • The 10,000 km change interval applied under normal use conditions across all four variants represents a fixed maintenance cycle, with no shortened severe-use interval listed for any of the 1945-1955 configurations.
