Additional Notes

  • The Renault Estafette (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity holds at 3 liters across all configurations spanning 1959-1980, a figure consistent with a combined transaxle unit where the gearbox and final drive share a single fluid reservoir rather than separate sumps.
  • A transaxle layout, as noted across every row, integrates the transmission and axle differential into one housing, which is why a single 3-liter capacity figure covers both functions without a separate differential fill specification.
  • The R2130/31 (1959-1961) and R2132/33/34/35 (1961-1969) configurations both carry a daily check interval alongside the 5000 km change interval, indicating a more frequent monitoring requirement during those earlier production years.
  • The daily fluid check requirement present in the 1959-1961 and 1961-1969 configurations does not appear in the R2136/37 specifications for either the 1969-1972 or 1972-1980 periods, where only the 5000 km change interval is listed.
  • A 5000 km drain interval applies uniformly across all four configurations under normal use conditions, placing the Estafette's manual transaxle service schedule in a relatively short-interval category by general automotive standards.
  • The R2136/37 variant spans two distinct date ranges, 1969-1972 and 1972-1980, yet both share identical capacity and change interval specifications of 3 liters and 5000 km respectively.
