Additional Notes
- Both the Fox 1.8 (66 kW) and the Fox 1.8 GL (76 kW) share an identical manual transaxle fluid capacity of 1.6 liters across the 1990-1993 model years.
- A capacity figure tied to a transaxle rather than a standalone gearbox reflects a combined housing where the transmission and differential share a single fluid reservoir, making the 1.6-liter fill volume applicable to the entire unit as one service point.
- The 1.6-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the volume expected when refilling a drained but otherwise intact transaxle during routine maintenance, as opposed to a larger overhaul capacity that would account for fluid retained in disassembled components.
- Both configurations carry a normal use condition designation, which in fluid service contexts refers to standard operating environments without the elevated thermal or mechanical stress associated with severe-duty classifications.
