Additional Notes

  • Across all four engine variants of the Opel Rekord E covered in the 1984-1986 specifications, each variant lists two distinct manual transmission fluid capacities: 1.03 liters and 1.4 liters.
  • The 1.03-liter figure represents a partial or service-level fill, typically associated with a fluid check or top-up rather than a complete drain-and-refill procedure.
  • The 1.4-liter figure represents the larger of the two capacities per variant, consistent with a full fluid replacement where the transmission sump is fully drained before refilling.
  • The 1.8-petrol, 2.0 S petrol, 2.3 Diesel, and 2.3 Turbo Diesel variants all share identical capacity values of 1.03 liters and 1.4 liters, indicating no variation in manual transmission fluid volume across engine types for the 1984-1986 period.
  • All rows carry a normal use condition, meaning the 12-month check interval applies to standard operating conditions rather than a more demanding or severe-use schedule.
  • The 12-month check interval is consistent across every listed variant and capacity figure, regardless of whether the engine is petrol or diesel.
  • A 12-month interval for a fluid check, rather than a full change, reflects a maintenance schedule focused on monitoring fluid level and condition at regular calendar-based intervals.
