Additional Notes

  • The Datsun (Nissan) Skyline 1500 and 1800 C10 variants, covering 1968-1972, share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.7 liters, which represents the largest fill volume across all configurations listed in the specifications.
  • The 2000 GT and 2400 GT GC10 variants carry a reduced manual transmission capacity of 1.5 liters, a figure 0.2 liters lower than the 1500 and 1800 C10 units despite belonging to the same broader C10 generation.
  • The 240K GT GC110, spanning 1972-1977, sits at an intermediate manual transmission capacity of 1.6 liters, placing it between the 1.5-liter GC10 GT variants and the 1.7-liter C10 base variants.
  • A normal-use manual transmission fluid change interval of 50,000 km applies uniformly across all configurations in the specifications, from the 1968 C10 through the 1977 GC110.
  • An initial service interval of 1,000 km is specified for every configuration listed, regardless of engine displacement or body series. An initial service interval at such a short distance is associated with breaking in new or freshly filled transmission components, allowing early fluid contamination from metal particles to be removed.
  • The 2400 GT GC10 carries the same 1.5-liter capacity and identical 50,000 km normal-use interval as the 2000 GT GC10, despite the displacement difference between the two variants.
  • The capacity difference between the C10 body series and the GC10 GT variants indicates a physically distinct transmission unit was used in the GT models, as a 0.2-liter reduction in fill volume reflects a difference in internal housing size rather than a fill procedure variation.
