Additional Notes

  • The Holden EK manual transmission fluid capacity is 0.96 liters across all four body configurations: Panel Van, Special, Standard, and Utility.
  • A 0.96-liter capacity is characteristic of a compact gearbox, consistent with the small-displacement inline-six drivetrain fitted to the EK range during 1961-1962.
  • The fluid check interval is set at 1,600 km under normal use conditions, reflecting a relatively short inspection cycle typical of maintenance schedules from that era.
  • The fluid change interval is 16,000 km under normal use conditions, placing the drain cycle at exactly ten times the check interval across all listed configurations.
  • The uniformity of capacity and service intervals across the Panel Van, Special, Standard, and Utility body styles indicates a shared manual transmission unit throughout the EK lineup for 1961-1962.
