Additional Notes

  • The Holden Premier HQ manual transmission fluid capacity is 2.13 liters across all listed configurations, covering the 202 HC, 202 LC, 253 HC, 253 LC, and 308 HC engine variants for 1971-1974.
  • A 2.13-liter figure for a manual transmission represents a service fill capacity, meaning the volume required when refilling a drained unit during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul rebuild quantity.
  • The six-cylinder 202 HC and 202 LC variants share an identical 2.13-liter manual transmission capacity with the V8 253 and 308 variants, indicating no capacity difference between the inline-six and V8 drivetrain pairings in the HQ range.
  • The HC and LC designations within the 202 and 253 engine families denote high-compression and low-compression tune states respectively, yet both share the same 2.13-liter manual transmission fluid capacity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the fluid check interval is set at 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, across all listed HQ configurations.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use conditions is 20,000 km or 12 months, meaning the time-based trigger of 12 months applies regardless of whether the distance threshold has been reached.
  • The check interval of 10,000 km sits at exactly half the 20,000 km change interval, structuring a mid-cycle inspection point between each full fluid replacement.
