Additional Notes

  • The Volvo 300 (EU) rear differential carries a fluid capacity of 1.35 liters across all listed configurations, which is a typical service fill volume for a compact rear axle unit of this era.
  • The 340 1.4 and 340 1.7 variants, both spanning 1982-1991, share an identical rear differential capacity of 1.35 liters, indicating no displacement-related variation in the axle specification between the two engine options.
  • The 340 Diesel, covering 1984-1991, also holds 1.35 liters in the rear differential, placing the diesel variant in alignment with the petrol-engined 340 models on this particular fluid capacity.
  • The 360 2.0, spanning 1982-1990, carries the same 1.35-liter rear differential capacity as the 340 series, suggesting a shared or closely related axle assembly across the two model lines.
  • All four configurations specify a check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, reflecting a time-and-distance dual-trigger maintenance schedule rather than a fluid replacement interval.
  • The 10,000 km or 6-month check interval applies specifically to normal use conditions across all listed rows, meaning the schedule is not adjusted for more demanding operating environments within the data provided.
