Additional Notes
- The Toyota Publica / 1000 KP30/36 rear differential holds 1 liter of fluid across both the 1968-1972 and 1972-1978 model year ranges, a figure that reflects a service fill level rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill capacity.
- The Publica 700 P1 from 1961-1966 carries a noticeably smaller rear differential capacity of 0.7 liter, which aligns with the lighter and mechanically simpler drivetrain of the earlier generation compared to the KP30/36 platform.
- For the KP30/36 in the 1968-1972 range, the change interval under normal use is set at 30,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, pairing a distance-based threshold with a fixed time limit.
- The KP30/36 in the 1972-1978 range carries a longer change interval of 40,000 km under the same 24-month time limit, representing a 10,000 km extension over the earlier KP30/36 specification while keeping the calendar interval identical.
- Both KP30/36 ranges share a check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid level is to be inspected at a frequency three to four times greater than the full change interval.
- The Publica 700 P1 uses a check interval of 9,000 km with no time-based qualifier listed alongside it, and a change interval of 18,000 km, also without a month-based limit, distinguishing the interval structure of the P1 from the dual km/month format used in the KP30/36 specifications.
