Additional Notes
- The Holden Commodore/Calais VK Commodore SL/Berlina carries two distinct manual transmission fluid capacities across the 1984-1986 model years: 2.75 liters and 1.6 liters. The difference between the two figures points to separate gearbox units being fitted across the range rather than a single transmission specification.
- A capacity of 2.75 liters is on the larger end for a manual transmission service fill, which is consistent with a heavier-duty or larger-displacement gearbox assembly requiring a greater fluid volume to maintain adequate lubrication across all internal components.
- The 1.6-liter figure represents a notably smaller fluid volume, typical of a more compact manual gearbox unit. At service fill level, a capacity in this range leaves little margin, meaning precise measurement during a fluid change is particularly relevant to achieving a correct fill.
- Both capacity values are specified under normal use conditions, meaning the intervals and volumes listed apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles such as towing, repeated short trips, or extreme temperature exposure.
- Because both rows share the same model designation of Commodore SL/Berlina and the same 1984-1986 year span, the two capacities reflect the presence of more than one manual transmission option available within that single trim level across the production period.
