Additional Notes

  • The Opel Rekord E automatic transmission fluid capacity is 2.1 liters across the 2.0 S, 2.3 Diesel, and 2.3 Turbo Diesel variants for 1984-1986.
  • A 2.1-liter figure in an automatic transmission service context typically represents a partial drain-and-fill quantity rather than a full overhaul capacity, as the torque converter retains fluid during a standard service.
  • The 36-month change interval applies under normal use conditions for all three engine variants in the 1984-1986 range, meaning the interval is time-based rather than mileage-based as specified.
  • The identical 2.1-liter capacity and 36-month interval across the petrol 2.0 S and both diesel variants — the 2.3 Diesel and 2.3 Turbo Diesel — indicates a shared automatic transmission unit regardless of engine type for the 1984-1986 Rekord E.
