Additional Notes
- The Opel Rekord E rear differential fluid capacity splits into two distinct values depending on the engine variant, with the 1.8 and 2.0 S requiring 1.2 liters and the 2.3 Diesel and 2.3 Turbo Diesel requiring 1.1 liter.
- A 1.2-liter rear differential fill is the specified capacity for both the 1.8 and 2.0 S variants across the 1984-1986 model years, indicating a shared differential unit between the petrol-engined configurations.
- The 2.3 Diesel and 2.3 Turbo Diesel share an identical 1.1-liter rear differential capacity, placing both diesel variants in a separate specification group from the petrol engines.
- The 0.1-liter difference between the petrol and diesel variant capacities, while numerically small, reflects a distinction in the rear differential housings fitted to each engine family within the 1984-1986 Rekord E range.
- All four variants carry a 12-month check interval for rear differential fluid under normal use conditions, applying uniformly across the 1.8, 2.0 S, 2.3 Diesel, and 2.3 Turbo Diesel for the 1984-1986 period.
- The 12-month interval is tied specifically to normal use conditions across all listed configurations, meaning the interval applies to standard operating circumstances rather than severe or demanding service environments.
