Additional Notes

  • All six configurations listed for the Peugeot J5 share an identical rear differential fluid capacity of 1.6 liters, spanning the 1.9 D, 2.5 D, and 2.5 Turbo D engine variants across both the 1987-1991 and 1991-1994 production periods.
  • A 1.6-liter capacity is consistent with a service fill figure for a light commercial vehicle rear axle differential, representing the volume required during a fluid change rather than a full overhaul strip-down, which would typically account for additional residual fluid in the housing.
  • The check interval is set at 7,500 km across all listed configurations. At this interval, the differential housing is inspected for fluid level and condition without a full drain, serving as a routine monitoring procedure between full changes.
  • The fluid change interval is 45,000 km under normal use conditions for all six configurations. Normal use, as opposed to severe use, generally refers to operation without sustained heavy loads, extreme temperatures, or frequent off-road driving.
  • The 4x4 designation present across all rows indicates a driven rear axle in addition to the front, which is why a rear differential fluid specification applies. Two-wheel-drive J5 variants would not carry this rear differential requirement.
  • The payload designations of 800, 1000, 1400, and 1800 kg appear across all engine variants in both production periods, and the rear differential fluid capacity of 1.6 liters remains unchanged regardless of which payload rating applies.
  • The specifications are identical between the 1987-1991 and 1991-1994 rows for each engine type, meaning the mid-production update around 1991 introduced no change to rear differential capacity or service intervals for any of the three engine variants.
