Additional Notes

  • The Seat León 1M carries two distinct differential fluid capacities across its lineup: 0.75 liter for front differentials sourced from automatic transmissions, and 1 liter for rear differentials on four-wheel-drive configurations.
  • The 0.75-liter capacity applies to the 1.6 16V (2001-2006) and the 1.8 20V (1999-2005), both of which share an identical check interval of 30,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • The 1-liter rear differential capacity is shared across three distinct variants: the 1.8 20VT 4 (2001-2003), the 1.9 TDI 110 kW 4WD (2001-2004), and the 2.8 V6 Cupra 4 (2001-2004).
  • Rear differential check intervals on the four-wheel-drive variants are set at 60,000 km under normal use, which is double the 30,000 km interval specified for the automatic-sourced front differentials.
  • The 1.8 20V covers the widest model year span among the listed entries, running from 1999-2005, while the 1.8 20VT 4 has the narrowest window at 2001-2003.
  • All five entries carry a check interval rather than a drain-and-refill interval, meaning the service action at each specified mileage point is an inspection of fluid level rather than a scheduled fluid replacement.
  • The 2.8 V6 Cupra 4 shares the same 1-liter rear differential capacity and 60,000 km check interval as the diesel-powered 1.9 TDI 4WD, despite the significant difference in engine displacement and fuel type between the two variants.
