Additional Notes

  • Across all listed Peugeot 405 configurations with a rear differential, the fluid capacity is 1.6 liters, indicating a consistent unit size shared between the 1.9 X4, 2.0 X4, MI-16 X4, and T-16 variants.
  • The 1.9 X4 (1989-1990) and MI-16 X4 (1989-1992) share the same service structure: a single change interval at 20,000 km under normal use, with no intermediate check interval specified.
  • The 2.0 X4 (1992-1993) and T-16 (1992-1996) both carry a 10,000 km or 12-month check interval alongside a 20,000 km change interval under normal use, adding a fluid condition verification step between drain cycles.
  • The 2.0 X4 (1993-1996) carries the longest change interval among all listed variants at 30,000 km, which is 50% longer than the 20,000 km interval applied to earlier 2.0 X4 production years.
  • The 2.0 X4 (1993-1996) also has a check interval set at 15,000 km or 12 months, compared to the 10,000 km or 12-month check applied to the 1992-1993 version of the same engine, reflecting a revised maintenance schedule between the two production periods.
  • The shift from a 20,000 km to a 30,000 km change interval between the 1992-1993 and 1993-1996 2.0 X4 specifications represents a notable divergence within the same model designation across adjacent production years.
