Simca 1300 / 1500

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Simca 1300 / 1500 manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,35 to 1,5 liters. Service intervals require a change every 10000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Simca 1300 manual transmission carries a fluid capacity of 1.35 liters, a figure consistent with a compact gearbox typical of small European sedans from the early 1960s.
  • The Simca 1500 manual transmission lists a capacity range of 1.35 to 1.5 liters, indicating a slight variation depending on the specific configuration, rather than a single fixed fill volume.
  • Both the 1300 and 1500 share a 10,000 km fluid change interval under normal use conditions, which was a standard service cadence for manual transmissions of that era.
  • The capacity spread on the 1500 suggests that the actual fill quantity at service time could differ between individual units, making a drain-and-measure approach more reliable than assuming a fixed volume.
