Talbot Matra Murena

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Talbot Matra Murena manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 1,3 to 1,7 liters. Service intervals include checking every 15000 km or 12 months and changing every 30000 km or 24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Talbot Matra Murena routes drivetrain loads through a transaxle layout, meaning the manual gearbox and final drive share a common housing filled with a single fluid charge rather than separate sumps.
  • The 1.6-liter variant carries a transaxle fluid capacity of 1.3 liters, a figure consistent with a compact integrated unit where the gearbox and differential share a relatively modest shared volume.
  • The 2.2-liter variant requires 1.7 liters of manual transmission fluid, a capacity 0.4 liters greater than the 1.6-liter model, reflecting the larger transaxle assembly paired with the bigger engine.
  • Both engine variants share identical service intervals: a fluid level check every 15,000 km or 12 months, and a full fluid change every 30,000 km or 24 months, under normal use conditions.
  • The check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months falls at exactly half the change interval, meaning one fluid level inspection occurs between each successive drain-and-fill service.
  • Both configurations specify normal use conditions, meaning the stated 30,000 km or 24-month change interval applies to standard driving rather than any elevated-stress operating profile.
