Hudson Wasp

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Hudson Wasp differential fluid capacity ranges from 1,4 to 1,6 kg or 1,4 liters. Service intervals include a check at 1000 miles and a change at 10000 miles. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Hudson Super Wasp and Wasp for 1952-1954 share identical rear differential fluid capacities, listed at 1.6 kg for standard transmission models and 1.4 kg for Hydra-Matic equipped versions.
  • The lower 1.4 kg capacity on 1952-1954 Hydra-Matic models reflects a difference in rear axle housing design or fill volume associated with that transmission pairing, rather than the standard drivetrain configuration.
  • For the 1955-1956 Wasp, the rear differential capacity is expressed in volume rather than mass, recorded at 1.4 liters, which represents a change in how the specification is measured compared to the earlier 1952-1954 entries.
  • Across all three configurations, the check interval is set at 1,000 miles under normal use conditions, indicating a relatively early inspection point following initial operation or a recent service.
  • The change interval of 10,000 miles under normal use conditions applies uniformly to the Super Wasp and both Wasp generations covered in the specifications, from 1952 through 1956.
