Linde Forklift trucks, diesel (358 series)
Differential fluid capacity & service interval
Linde Forklift trucks, diesel (358 series) require differential fluid with a capacity of 24,5 liters. Service intervals include checking at 500 hours and changing at 2000 hours. The data covers 4 configurations.

Additional Notes
- All four configurations in the Linde 358 series covered here are paired with the Perkins 1006.60T engine, a six-cylinder turbocharged diesel commonly used in heavy industrial equipment of this era.
- The front differential fluid capacity across the H120/1200, H140/1200, H160, and H160/1200 models is uniformly 24.5 liters, a substantial volume consistent with the heavy-duty axle assemblies found in forklifts rated in the 12,000–16,000 kg lift capacity range.
- A 24.5-liter differential fill is notably large compared to automotive differentials, reflecting the scale of the drive axle hardware required to handle the load ratings of the 358 series machines.
- The check interval for front differential fluid is set at 500 operating hours under normal use conditions, meaning fluid level and condition are inspected well before a full drain-and-fill is due.
- The fluid change interval is specified at 2,000 operating hours under normal use conditions, placing a full differential service at four times the frequency of a routine fluid check.
- The H120/1200 and H140/1200 designations indicate load capacity variants within the same 358-01 platform, yet both share identical front differential capacity and service interval specifications with the H160 and H160/1200.
- All rows carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 500-hour check and 2,000-hour change intervals apply to standard operating environments rather than elevated-stress or severe-duty cycles.
