Additional Notes

  • The Chevrolet Chevelle (USA) automatic transmission specifications list two distinct capacity figures for each engine variant: a 2-liter refill capacity and an 8.5-liter total capacity.
  • The 2-liter figure is designated as a refill capacity, meaning it represents the amount of fluid added during a routine service without a full drain, rather than the total system volume.
  • The 8.5-liter figure reflects the full system capacity, which is the volume associated with a complete overhaul or total fluid replacement where the torque converter is also drained.
  • All five engine variants covered by the specifications, the 194, 230, 283, 327, and 396, share identical capacity values of 2 liters (refill) and 8.5 liters (total), indicating no variation in transmission fluid volume across engine configurations for the 1964-1967 model years.
  • Under normal use conditions, the automatic transmission fluid check interval is set at 10,000 km for all listed engine variants across the 1964-1967 model years.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use conditions is 20,000 km, which is double the check interval, applying uniformly across all engine variants in the 1964-1967 range.
