Additional Notes

  • The Fiat Strada 178 (EU) manual transmission fluid specifications cover a transaxle layout across all listed configurations, meaning the gearbox and final drive share a single fluid reservoir rather than separate sumps.
  • The 1.2 8V (1997-2007) and 1.9 D (1997-2005) variants share an identical transaxle fluid capacity of 1.98 liters, both under normal use conditions, with a fluid level check interval of 60,000 km.
  • The 1.9 JTD (2000-2007) carries a slightly higher transaxle capacity of 2 liters compared to the earlier 1.9 D, while retaining the same 60,000 km check interval under normal use conditions.
  • The 1.3 16V JTD (2007-2011) also specifies a 2-liter transaxle capacity under normal use conditions, placing it in line with the 1.9 JTD on fill volume despite the significant difference in engine displacement.
  • A 60,000 km check interval, as listed for the 1.2 8V, 1.9 D, and 1.9 JTD, refers to a fluid level inspection rather than a full drain-and-refill service, which is a common distinction in manual transaxle maintenance schedules.
  • The difference between 1.98 liters and 2 liters across configurations is marginal in practical terms, but the distinction in the specifications reflects differences in transaxle unit design between the earlier and later engine pairings.
