Additional Notes

  • The Tofas Murat 131 rear differential holds 1 liter of fluid across all listed configurations and model years from 1974 to 1984, indicating a compact differential unit consistent throughout the entire lineup.
  • Both the 1300 and 1600 variants from 1974-1977 carry an explicit 10,000 km check interval and a 30,000 km change interval under normal use conditions, pairing the 1-liter capacity with a defined maintenance schedule.
  • The 1600 16V, CL/L 1600, CLD/LD 2000, and CLD/LD 2500 variants from 1978-1984 list only the 1-liter capacity without accompanying check or change intervals, distinguishing them from the earlier 1974-1977 entries where full service schedules are specified.
  • Limited slip differential variants appear alongside standard rear differential entries for the 1600 (1974-1977), 1600 16V (1978-1984), CL/L 1600 (1978-1984), CLD/LD 2000 (1978-1984), and CLD/LD 2500 (1978-1984). In every case, the limited slip unit shares the same 1-liter capacity as the standard differential for that configuration.
  • A limited slip differential requires a specially formulated gear oil, typically containing friction modifier additives, to prevent chatter and wear on the clutch packs. The specifications here do not differentiate fluid type between standard and limited slip units, only capacity.
  • The 30,000 km change interval specified for the 1974-1977 models under normal use reflects a relatively frequent differential fluid service cycle, which was common practice for vehicles of that era given the lower oxidation stability of gear oils available at the time.
  • The CLD/LD designation in the 1978-1984 range covers both 2000 and 2500 engine displacements, yet both share the identical 1-liter rear differential capacity, indicating the differential housing size was not scaled with engine displacement in those trim levels.
