Additional Notes

  • Across the Ford Capri MK II (EU) 1974-1978 lineup, rear differential fluid capacity falls into one of two values: 1.14 liters or 1.1 liters, depending on the engine variant fitted to the vehicle.
  • The 1.14-liter rear differential capacity applies to the 1.3 HC, 1.6 GT, and 1.6 HC variants, all covering the full 1974-1978 model year span.
  • The 1.1-liter rear differential capacity is shared by the 2.0 HC V6, 2.0 HC, 2.3 HC, and 3.0 HC variants, also across the full 1974-1978 range.
  • The 0.04-liter difference between the two capacity groups is small in absolute terms but reflects a distinction between the differential housings paired with the smaller four-cylinder engines versus those used with the larger displacement units.
  • All seven configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the listed capacities apply to standard operating conditions rather than a separate severe-duty or first-fill scenario.
  • The rear differential fluid capacity figures represent service fill volumes, which are the amounts required when refilling a unit already installed in the vehicle, as opposed to a bench or overhaul fill that may account for additional fluid retained in passages and components.
