Simca 1100

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Simca 1100 automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 0,5 to 4,3 liters. Service intervals include checks every 5000 km. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Simca 1100 semi-automatic transmission carries a 0.5 liter fluid capacity, which represents the transmission unit fill volume separate from the torque converter circuit.
  • A torque converter capacity of 4.3 liters is listed across all four configurations, a figure substantially larger than the transmission fill, reflecting the volume held within the hydraulic coupling assembly itself.
  • The combined fluid demand of the transmission and torque converter reaches 4.8 liters in total, a consideration relevant during a full overhaul or complete drain procedure rather than a routine top-up.
  • All four configurations share an identical check interval of 5000 km under normal use conditions, applying equally to the 6CV variants spanning 1967-1973 and 1974-1979 as well as the 7CV variants spanning 1970-1973 and 1974-1979.
  • The 5000 km check interval is associated with normal use conditions across every listed configuration, with no separate severe-use interval appearing in the specifications.
  • Capacity figures remain unchanged between the pre-1974 and post-1974 model years for both the 6CV and 7CV variants, indicating no revision to fluid volume requirements across those production periods.
  • The 7CV configurations, introduced from 1970 onward, carry the same 0.5 liter transmission and 4.3 liter torque converter capacities as the earlier 6CV units, despite representing a higher engine output rating.
