Additional Notes

  • The Suzuki Baleno SY 1.6 4x4 rear differential holds 0.7 liter across all listed configurations, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul capacity.
  • For the 1995-2000 variant under normal use conditions, the rear differential fluid change interval is set at 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 1995-2000 variant requires a rear differential fluid change at 20,000 km or 12 months, exactly half the distance and time of the normal use interval.
  • The 1995-2000 variant also carries a fluid level check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use, separate from the change interval.
  • For the 2001-2002 variant under normal use, the change interval extends to 45,000 km with no time-based limit stated alongside it, a departure from the dual km/month format used in the earlier model years.
  • The normal use check interval for the 2001-2002 variant is 15,000 km or 12 months, compared to 10,000 km or 6 months for the 1995-2000 variant, reflecting a longer inspection cycle in the revised schedule.
  • Under severe use, the 2001-2002 variant specifies a change at 30,000 km or 24 months, whereas the 1995-2000 severe interval was 20,000 km or 12 months, representing a notable relaxation in the later schedule.
