Additional Notes

  • The Simca 1300 and 1500 rear differentials share an identical fluid capacity of 1.09 liters, which is a typical service fill volume for a compact rear differential unit of that era.
  • A 10,000 km change interval applies to both the 1300 and 1500 under normal use conditions, reflecting a relatively frequent drain-and-refill cycle by modern standards.
  • The rear differential designation confirms a conventional rear-wheel-drive layout on both models across the 1963-1966 production span.
  • The capacity figure of 1.09 liters is consistent between the two variants, indicating no meaningful mechanical difference in differential housing size despite the two models carrying distinct engine and displacement identities.
