Additional Notes

  • The Volvo FL-10 (EU) rear differential holds 31 liters across both the TD 101 G (1985-1988) and TD 102 F (1988-1993) engine configurations, indicating a consistent housing volume between the two generations for the standard rear unit.
  • The leading rear differential on the TD 101 G variant carries 33 liters, which is 2 liters more than the standard rear differential on the same configuration, reflecting the additional internal components associated with a leading axle unit.
  • The trailing rear differential on the TD 101 G (1985-1988) holds 31 liters, matching the capacity of the standard rear differential rather than the leading unit on the same vehicle.
  • The TD 102 F (1988-1993) leading rear differential also holds 33 liters, aligning with the leading axle capacity recorded for the earlier TD 101 G configuration.
  • Under normal use conditions, the TD 101 G differential fluid change interval is set at 90,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applying equally to the standard rear, leading, and trailing differential positions.
  • A 3-month check interval is specified for all three differential positions on the TD 101 G (1985-1988) under normal use conditions, indicating that fluid level monitoring was expected well ahead of the full change interval.
