Additional Notes
- The Opel Kadett D automatic transmission fluid capacity is listed at 6.3 liters across all four configurations covered in the specifications.
- A 6.3-liter figure for a transaxle-type automatic unit reflects a total system fill, which typically accounts for fluid held within the torque converter, valve body, and transmission casing combined.
- The transaxle designation noted in each row indicates the transmission and final drive share a single housing, a layout common in front-wheel-drive vehicles where the gearbox and differential are integrated into one unit.
- The service interval for all listed configurations is set at 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid change schedule is time-based rather than mileage-based as recorded in the specifications.
- The 1.3 and 1.3 S variants share an identical capacity and interval specification, with both covering the full 1979-1984 model year span.
- The 1.6 D, a diesel-engined variant, carries the same 6.3-liter capacity and 48-month change interval as the petrol configurations, with a model year range beginning in 1980.
- The 1.6 S has the latest starting model year among the listed configurations, entering the range in 1981, while still sharing the same 6.3-liter capacity and 48-month interval as the earlier variants.
