Additional Notes
- The Simca Aronde rear differential holds 1.2 liters of fluid across all four listed configurations, spanning the Flash, Rush, Rush-Super, and 1.1 variants of the P60 generation.
- A 1.2-liter capacity in a rear differential of this era is consistent with a compact unit typical of small European passenger cars, where the housing volume is sized for a light-duty axle rather than a truck or performance application.
- The check interval for all listed configurations is set at 2,000 km or every 6 months, whichever comes first, reflecting a dual trigger based on both distance and elapsed time under normal use conditions.
- The drain-and-fill change interval across all four configurations is 12,000 km under normal use, meaning the fluid is expected to be fully replaced at that mileage point rather than simply topped off.
- The Aronde P60 (Flash) covers model years 1958-1960, while the Rush and Rush-Super variants span 1961-1964 and 1962-1964 respectively, yet all share identical differential fluid specifications despite representing different trim levels and production periods.
- The Aronde P60 1.1, produced from 1961-1964, carries the same 1.2-liter differential capacity and 12,000 km change interval as the trim-named variants, indicating the rear axle unit was not altered between the engine-designated and trim-designated versions of the P60.
