Additional Notes

  • The Opel Corsa F 1.2 (55 kW) with engine code HMH carries two distinct capacity figures for its manual transaxle: 2.1 liters for a dry fill and 2.0 liters for a service fill. The dry fill figure applies when the unit is completely empty, such as after a full overhaul or replacement, while the service fill figure reflects the smaller volume needed when some residual fluid remains after a standard drain.
  • The 0.1-liter difference between the dry fill and service fill on the HMH transaxle is a practical distinction. Overfilling during a routine service using the dry fill value risks excess fluid pressure within the unit.
  • Both turbocharged 1.2-liter variants, the 74 kW HNK and the 96 kW HNL/HNS, share a capacity range of 1.7-1.8 liters for their manual transaxles under normal use conditions. A range rather than a fixed value typically reflects minor variation in how much fluid drains during a service, making the fill-to-level method the standard approach.
  • The naturally aspirated 1.2 HMH transaxle holds a notably higher service fill volume at 2.0 liters compared to the 1.7-1.8 liter range seen in the turbocharged 1.2 variants, indicating a physically different gearbox unit despite sharing the same model generation.
  • The Opel Corsa F 1.5 Diesel (75 kW), engine code YHY, carries a filled-for-life designation for its manual transaxle. A filled-for-life classification means the manufacturer specifies no scheduled fluid change interval under normal operating conditions for the life of the vehicle.
  • The 1.5 Diesel YHY transaxle capacity of 1.7-1.8 liters applies across both the 2019-2020 and 2020-2023 model year entries, with the filled-for-life use condition consistent across both periods.
