Additional Notes
- The Triumph Spitfire rear differential holds 0.6 liter of fluid across all five variants covered in the specifications, spanning the Spitfire 4 (1962-1965) through the Spitfire 1500 (1974-1980).
- A 0.6 liter capacity is a relatively small fill volume, consistent with the compact rear axle unit found in a lightweight two-seat sports car of the Spitfire's class.
- The check interval for the rear differential is set at 9,600 km (6,000 miles) under normal use conditions across all listed variants, from the Spitfire 4 through the Spitfire MK IV, MK2, MK3, and Spitfire 1500.
- The change interval under normal use conditions is 19,200 km (12,000 miles), exactly double the check interval, across every variant in the specifications.
- The Spitfire MK2 (1965-1967), MK3 (1967-1970), and MK IV (1970-1974) each carry the same 0.6 liter rear differential capacity and identical service intervals, indicating no change in the rear axle specification across those successive marks.
- All five variants list only normal use conditions for the rear differential service intervals, meaning the 9,600 km check and 19,200 km change figures apply specifically to that operating context.
