Additional Notes

  • Across all listed configurations of the Toyota Starlet (EU), the differential fluid capacity is 1.4 liters, applying exclusively to units sourced from automatic transmissions.
  • The 1.3 variant covering 1985-1989 carries a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, which is shorter than the check intervals specified for later generations.
  • For the same 1985-1989 1.3 variant, the change interval under normal use is set at 30,000 km or 24 months.
  • The 1.3 and 1.3i variants spanning 1990-1996 share an identical normal-use check interval of 20,000 km and a change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months, indicating aligned service schedules between the carbureted and fuel-injected versions of that generation.
  • The 1990-1996 1.3 under severe use conditions carries a change interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, which is half the distance and half the time allowed under normal use for the same generation.
  • No check interval is listed for the 1990-1996 1.3 under severe use conditions; only a change interval of 20,000 km or 12 months is specified for that row.
  • The 1.3i 16V covering 1996-1998 has a check interval of 20,000 km or 24 months and a change interval of 30,000 km or 48 months under normal use, making the 48-month time-based change interval the longest among all listed configurations.
  • The 30,000 km distance-based change interval of the 1.3i 16V (1996-1998) matches the distance interval of the earlier 1985-1989 1.3, though the time allowances differ considerably between the two generations.
