Additional Notes

  • Across all listed configurations of the Tofas Sahin, the rear differential fluid capacity is 1.2 liters, a figure that applies uniformly whether the unit is a standard open differential or a limited slip differential.
  • The 1.2-liter capacity figure represents a service fill level, meaning the amount of fluid the differential housing holds during normal maintenance rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill scenario.
  • All capacity values in the specifications are tied to normal use conditions, meaning the listed 1.2-liter figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • The Sahin 1.6 spans model years 1990-1995, making it the earliest engine variant represented in the specifications, while the 1.4 and 1.6 i.e. variants cover later periods beginning from 1996 and 1998 respectively.
  • The limited slip differential variant carries the same 1.2-liter capacity as the standard rear differential across every configuration listed, indicating no difference in housing volume between the two differential types in the Sahin lineup.
  • The Sahin S, covering 1996-1997, shares the 1.2-liter rear differential capacity with both the standard and limited slip configurations, consistent with all other variants in the specifications.
  • The 1.6 i.e. designation refers to an indirect electronic fuel injection variant, and despite the distinction from the carbureted 1.6, the rear differential fluid capacity of 1.2 liters remains unchanged for the 1998-2002 period.
