Triumph 1300/Toledo/1500

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Triumph 1300/Toledo/1500 differential fluid capacity ranges from 0,7 to 0,85 liters. Service intervals include checks at 10000 km, 20000 km, or 12000 miles. The data covers 7 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Triumph 1300 and 1300 TC, both produced from 1965-1970, share an identical rear differential fluid capacity of 0.85 liters, with a check interval of 20,000 km (12,000 miles) under normal use conditions.
  • The 1500 and 1500 TC variants from 1970-1976 carry a reduced rear differential capacity of 0.7 liters, which is notably lower than the 0.85-liter figure associated with the 1300-series and Toledo variants.
  • All three Toledo variants — the Toledo 1300, 1500, and 1500 TC — share the same 0.85-liter rear differential capacity, placing them in alignment with the earlier 1300-series rather than the 1500-series on this specification.
  • The check interval for the 1500 and 1500 TC is listed at 10,000 km with no mile equivalent provided, whereas the 1300 and 1300 TC specify 20,000 km with a 12,000-mile equivalent, representing a halved service interval between the two generations.
  • All Toledo variants carry a 10,000 km check interval, matching the 1500-series interval rather than the longer 20,000 km interval of the 1300 and 1300 TC models.
  • All specifications across the range are designated for normal use conditions, meaning none of the listed intervals reflect a severe-duty service schedule.
  • A rear differential capacity of 0.85 liters is consistent with a compact unit typical of small front-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive subcompact vehicles of the era, where differential housings are relatively small in volume.
