Additional Notes

  • The Commer Light Vans PB manual transmission carries a dry fill capacity of 2.13 liters across all four configurations covered by the 1967-1974 specifications.
  • A dry fill figure of 2.13 liters represents the total volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt transmission, such as after an overhaul or unit replacement.
  • The service fill capacity is listed at 1.99 liters, which is the lower volume expected during a routine fluid change, accounting for residual fluid that remains in the transmission after draining.
  • The 0.14-liter difference between the dry fill and service fill values reflects the amount of fluid that typically cannot be fully evacuated during a standard drain procedure.
  • Under normal use conditions, a fluid level check interval of 8,000 km applies to all four configurations, covering the 1500 PBC, 1500 Diesel PBR, 2500 PBC, and 2500 Diesel PBR variants.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use conditions is set at 40,000 km across all listed configurations, meaning the transmission fluid is replaced once for every five check intervals completed.
  • The 1500 and 2500 petrol variants, both designated PBC, share identical manual transmission fluid capacities and service intervals with their respective diesel PBR counterparts throughout the 1967-1974 model range.
