Additional Notes

  • The Peugeot 203C manual transmission holds 1.5 liters of fluid, a figure consistent with the compact gearbox designs typical of mid-century light passenger vehicles.
  • The 1.5-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount required when refilling a transmission already installed in the vehicle rather than a fully disassembled unit.
  • A fluid check interval of 3,000 km is specified for normal use conditions on the 203C, placing routine inspection at half the frequency of a full fluid change.
  • The change interval of 6,000 km under normal use conditions reflects the shorter drain cycles common to older transmission designs, where fluid degradation and contamination occurred more rapidly than in modern sealed units.
  • Both the check and change intervals apply specifically to normal use conditions, meaning the 203C (1954-1960) carries a single-condition service schedule without a separate severe-use interval in the specifications.
