Additional Notes

  • The Honda Civic IV EC/ED/EE rear differential carries an initial fill capacity of 1 liter, which represents the volume required when the unit is dry, such as after a complete overhaul or replacement.
  • Service fill capacity for the rear differential is 0.93 liter, reflecting the slightly lesser volume needed during a routine drain-and-refill, since a small residual amount of fluid typically remains in the housing after draining.
  • Both the 1987-1989 and 1989-1991 Civic IV 1.5 Wagon AWD configurations share identical rear differential capacities, with 1 liter for initial fill and 0.93 liter for service fill.
  • The rear differential specifications apply exclusively to the AWD variant of the 1.5 Wagon body style, as all-wheel-drive hardware is the only configuration within the 1987-1991 Civic IV EC/ED/EE range that includes a rear differential requiring fluid service.
  • Both capacity figures are listed under normal use conditions, meaning the specified volumes are not adjusted for severe-duty operating environments in the available data for the rear differential.
