Additional Notes

  • The Peugeot 301 1.2 PureTech engines (HMY and HMZ) use a semi-automatic transaxle with a dry fill capacity of 2.1 liters and a service fill capacity of 2 liters, reflecting a difference of only 0.1 liters between the two values.
  • A dry fill capacity represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty transmission, such as after a full overhaul or unit replacement, while a service fill reflects the smaller volume needed during a routine fluid change where residual fluid remains in the system.
  • The 1.6 VTi NFP engine carries two separate automatic transaxle entries for the 2012-2017 period, one with a dry fill of 7 liters and a service fill of 3-4 liters, and another with a dry fill of 5.85 liters and a service fill of 3 liters, indicating two distinct transmission variants were fitted to the same engine configuration.
  • The gap between the 7-liter dry fill and the 3-4 liter service fill on the 1.6 VTi NFP transaxle is notably wide, meaning a routine service replaces roughly half or less of the total fluid volume held in a fully drained unit.
  • The second 1.6 VTi NFP transaxle variant, with a 5.85-liter dry fill, has a narrower ratio between dry and service fill volumes compared to the 7-liter variant, as the service fill of 3 liters represents a larger proportion of the total capacity.
  • Both transaxle variants listed for the 1.6 VTi NFP engine carry over unchanged into the 2017-2019 period, with identical dry fill and service fill capacities across both generation ranges.
  • All six rows across the Peugeot 301 automatic and semi-automatic transmission specifications are designated for normal use conditions, with no severe-use interval or capacity variation listed for any configuration.
  • The semi-automatic transaxle used on the 1.2 PureTech engines has a substantially smaller total fluid capacity than either automatic transaxle variant on the 1.6 VTi, with a dry fill of 2.1 liters compared to 5.85 or 7 liters.
