Additional Notes

  • The rear differential fluid capacity for the Cadillac Series 62 (1957-1958) is 2.35 liters, which represents a service fill volume for the rear axle housing under normal use conditions.
  • Starting with the 1959-1960 Series 62/6200 and continuing through the 1961-1963 Series 62, the rear differential capacity increases slightly to 2.4 liters under normal use conditions.
  • The 0.05-liter difference between the 1957-1958 capacity of 2.35 liters and the 2.4-liter figure seen in later model years reflects a minor but distinct variation in rear axle housing volume across the production span.
  • The check interval for the 1957-1958 Series 62 rear differential is set at 3,000 km under normal use conditions, which is a relatively short inspection cycle for a rear axle assembly of this era.
  • From the 1959-1960 Series 62/6200 onward, the rear differential check interval doubles to 6,000 km under normal use conditions, aligning with the same interval maintained through the 1961-1963 Series 62.
  • The 1959-1960 and 1961-1963 configurations share identical specifications of 2.4 liters capacity and a 6,000 km check interval, indicating a stable rear differential service profile across those four model years.
