Additional Notes

  • The Renault Twingo C06 transaxle combines the transmission and final drive into a single housing, which is why the manual transmission fluid capacity of 3.4 liters is notably higher than a standalone gearbox would typically require.
  • The 1993-1996 Twingo carried a check interval of 10,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, making it the most frequent service schedule among all listed configurations.
  • The 1996-1998 Twingo extended the check interval considerably to 30,000 km or 24 months under normal use, representing a significant lengthening compared to the preceding model years.
  • The 1998-2000 Twingo 1.2 carried the longest check interval in the listed specifications at 60,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, while retaining the same 3.4-liter transaxle capacity as earlier configurations.
  • The 2001-2007 Twingo 1.2 and Twingo 1.2 16V share an identical transaxle fluid capacity of 3.1 liters, a reduction from the 3.4 liters specified for earlier model years.
  • The 3.1-liter capacity applies equally to the Twingo 1.2 LPG covering the 1997-2007 period, placing the LPG variant on the same transaxle fill volume as the standard and 16V petrol versions of the same era.
  • The 16V designation on the 2001-2007 Twingo 1.2 16V refers to a four-cylinder engine with four valves per cylinder, yet the transaxle fluid capacity remains identical to the standard 8-valve 1.2 variant at 3.1 liters, indicating a shared transmission unit.
