Additional Notes
- Both the 1.4 16V and 1.6 16V engines in the Renault Symbol II / Thalia II L35 share identical automatic transaxle fluid capacities, with a dry fill of 6 liters and a service fill of 3.5 liters across the 2008-2012 model years.
- The dry fill figure of 6 liters represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty or overhauled transmission, such as after a full unit replacement where the torque converter has been drained.
- The service fill of 3.5 liters applies to a partial fluid exchange during routine maintenance, where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and transmission passages, accounting for the reduced volume needed.
- The difference between the 6-liter dry fill and the 3.5-liter service fill means that roughly 2.5 liters of fluid is retained within the transmission assembly during a standard service, which is typical for automatic transaxle designs of this type.
- Both engine variants are noted as transaxle configurations, meaning the automatic transmission and final drive are housed in a single integrated unit, which is consistent with front-wheel-drive layouts common to the Symbol II / Thalia II platform.
- The capacity specifications for both the 1.4 16V and 1.6 16V variants are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the listed service fill volume of 3.5 liters corresponds to standard operating environments rather than severe or extended-duty cycles.
