Additional Notes

  • The Renault Caravelle / Floride (EU) uses a transaxle layout for its manual transmission, meaning the gearbox and final drive share a single housing filled with the same fluid.
  • The 1959-1964 Caravelle / Floride transaxle carries a fluid capacity ranging from 1.25 to 1.6 liters, a spread that reflects variation between a partial service fill and a full drain-and-refill overhaul quantity.
  • The Caravelle S / Floride S produced from 1962-1964 shares the same 1.25-1.6 liter transaxle capacity range and the same check and change intervals as the standard 1959-1964 variant.
  • The 1964-1968 generation carries a noticeably higher transaxle capacity of 1.6 to 1.9 liters, indicating a larger or revised transaxle unit compared to the earlier 1959-1964 specification.
  • Across all listed configurations, the fluid check interval is set at every 5,000 km under normal use conditions, a relatively short inspection cycle consistent with maintenance practices of that era.
  • The fluid change interval for all listed configurations is 10,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning a full drain and refill is due at twice the frequency of each fluid level check.
