Additional Notes

  • The Cadillac Series 75 (USA / CAN) rear differential carries 2.35 liters for the 1957-1958 model years, which is the only configuration across the full 1957-1974 span to use a sub-2.4-liter capacity figure.
  • Starting with the 1959-1960 models, the rear differential capacity increases to 2.4 liters and holds at that value across all subsequent configurations through 1974.
  • The 1957-1958 rear differential check interval is set at 3,000 km under normal use conditions, which is notably shorter than the 6,000 km interval introduced for the 1959-1960 models.
  • From 1959-1963, the rear differential check interval is expressed as a distance of 6,000 km under normal use conditions, while from 1968 onward the interval shifts to a time-based measure of 6 months rather than a mileage figure.
  • The 1968-1969 and 1970-1974 model years each carry two distinct rear differential entries: one for the standard open differential and one specifically designated for the limited slip differential, both sharing the same 2.4-liter capacity and 6-month check interval under normal use conditions.
  • A limited slip differential designation first appears in the specifications for the 1968-1969 Series 75, indicating a separate fluid service entry was warranted for that axle variant alongside the standard rear differential entry.
  • The 2.4-liter capacity figure, consistent across both the standard and limited slip rear differential entries for 1968-1974, reflects a service fill level rather than a full overhaul or disassembly quantity, as service fill values represent the fluid volume needed during routine maintenance with the unit installed in the vehicle.
  • No specifications are listed for the years 1964-1967 within the provided data, and the interval format change from distance-based to time-based checking occurs at the 1968 model year entry.
