Additional Notes

  • The Holden EK rear differential carries a capacity of 0.99 liter across all four body configurations covered in the specifications: Panel Van, Special, Standard, and Utility.
  • A capacity figure just under one liter is characteristic of a compact rear differential unit, consistent with the light passenger and light commercial vehicle class the EK occupied in the early 1960s.
  • All four configurations share an identical 0.99 liter rear differential capacity, indicating no variation in the differential unit between the passenger-oriented Special and Standard variants and the commercial Panel Van and Utility variants.
  • Each capacity figure is recorded under normal use conditions, meaning the specified 0.99 liter fill applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or high-load service scenarios.
