Additional Notes

  • The Hudson Commodore's automatic transmission holds 10.4 liters of fluid, a figure that reflects a full system fill rather than a partial drain-and-refill service quantity.
  • Both the Commodore Eight and Commodore Six share an identical 10.4-liter automatic transmission fluid capacity for 1951-1952, indicating no variation between the six-cylinder and eight-cylinder configurations in this regard.
  • The specified check interval of 1,000 miles under normal use conditions points to an early monitoring interval, consistent with mid-century service practices where fluid condition and level were verified shortly after a fill or service.
  • A change interval of 25,000 miles under normal use conditions applies equally to both the Commodore Eight and Commodore Six across the 1951-1952 model years, with no differentiation between engine types.
