Additional Notes

  • The Peugeot 203C rear differential holds 1.4 liters of fluid, a figure consistent with the compact rear axle assemblies typical of passenger cars from the mid-1950s.
  • The 1.4-liter capacity applies to a service fill context, meaning the volume expected when topping up or refilling the differential during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul strip-down.
  • Under normal use conditions, a fluid level check is specified at every 3,000 km, reflecting the shorter inspection intervals common to vehicles of the 1954-1960 era.
  • The change interval for the rear differential fluid is set at 6,000 km under normal use conditions, which is double the check interval, indicating that inspection precedes each full fluid replacement by one service cycle.
