Additional Notes
- The Vauxhall Cavalier II brake fluid specifications cover the hydraulic brake system across four engine variants spanning the 1981-1985 model years.
- The 1.6-liter petrol variant carries the largest brake fluid capacity in the range at 0.5 liters, which is notably higher than the 0.4-liter figure shared by the 1.3, 1.6 D, and 1.8E variants.
- A 0.4-liter capacity is the most common figure across the Cavalier II brake fluid specifications, appearing in three of the four listed engine configurations.
- All four variants share an identical check interval of 500 km under normal use conditions, indicating a relatively short inspection cycle for the hydraulic brake system fluid level.
- The annual change interval of 12 months applies uniformly across all listed variants under normal use conditions, regardless of engine displacement or fuel type.
- The 1.6 D diesel variant has a narrower production window of 1984-1985 compared to the petrol variants, which begin from 1981, yet still carries the same 12-month fluid change interval and 500 km check schedule.
- The 1.8E variant, introduced in 1983, shares the 0.4-liter capacity and identical service intervals with the 1.3-liter petrol variant despite the difference in engine displacement.
