Additional Notes
- All four Peugeot J7 configurations covered here share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 4 liters, which is consistent with a transaxle unit where the gearbox and final drive share a common fluid sump rather than separate reservoirs.
- The transaxle arrangement noted across the 1.6 PZ10, 1.8 PZ20, 2.1D PZ50, and 2.3D PZ60 variants means the 4-liter figure represents the combined fill volume for both the transmission and differential functions housed within a single casing.
- A fluid check interval of 7,500 km applies to all listed configurations under normal use conditions, indicating a periodic inspection point that falls well before the full drain-and-refill service.
- The fluid change interval across all four variants is set at 30,000 km under normal use, placing the check interval at exactly one-quarter of the full change cycle.
- The petrol-engined variants, the 1.6 PZ10 and 1.8 PZ20, share the same 4-liter capacity and 30,000 km change interval as the diesel variants introduced later in the production run, despite differences in engine displacement and fuel type.
- The diesel variants, the 2.1D PZ50 and 2.3D PZ60, carry a model year range of 1978-1980, making them later additions within the broader 1970-1980 span covered by the petrol configurations.
