Additional Notes
- The Opel Kadett A cooling system capacity of 5.1 liters applies to both the 1.0 and 1.0S variants across the 1962-1965 model years, indicating no volumetric difference between the standard and S-tuned engine configurations.
- A 5.1-liter coolant capacity is relatively modest by general automotive standards, consistent with the small-displacement 1.0-liter engine architecture found in both Kadett A variants.
- Both rows carry a normal use condition, meaning the 5.1-liter capacity figure is associated with standard operating circumstances rather than a severe-duty or first-fill scenario.
- The cooling system note classification, as opposed to an engine oil or transmission designation, confirms the 5.1-liter figure represents the total volume of the liquid cooling circuit, encompassing the radiator, hoses, and engine water jacket.
