Additional Notes

  • The Cadillac Series 60 rear differential holds 2.35 liters for the 1957-1958 model years, a figure that reflects a service fill capacity rather than a full overhaul volume.
  • Starting with the 1959-1960 generation, the rear differential capacity increased slightly to 2.4 liters, a measurement that remained consistent through the 1961-1963 models.
  • The check interval for the 1957-1958 rear differential is specified at 3000 km under normal use conditions, meaning routine driving without the added stress of towing, extreme temperatures, or off-road operation.
  • From 1959 onward, the rear differential check interval doubled to 6000 km under normal use conditions, a change that accompanied the minor capacity increase seen in that generation.
  • The 6000 km check interval established for the 1959-1960 models carried forward without modification into the 1961-1963 specification, alongside the same 2.4-liter capacity figure.
