Additional Notes

  • The Vauxhall Corsa F 1.2 (55 kW) with engine code HMH carries two distinct capacity figures for its manual transaxle: 2.1 liters for a dry fill and 2.0 liters for a service fill. The dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when the unit is completely empty, such as after a full overhaul or replacement, while the service fill figure reflects the smaller volume needed when some residual fluid remains during a routine fluid change.
  • The 0.1-liter difference between the dry fill and service fill on the HMH transaxle is a practical distinction. Overfilling a manual transaxle to the dry fill volume during a service change, rather than using the correct service fill volume, risks excess fluid pressure and potential seal damage.
  • Both turbocharged 1.2-liter variants of the Corsa F, the 74 kW HNK and the 96 kW HNL/HNS, share a capacity range of 1.7-1.8 liters for their manual transaxles under normal use conditions. A range rather than a fixed figure typically reflects minor variation in fluid retained after draining.
  • The naturally aspirated 1.2 (55 kW) HMH transaxle service fill of 2.0 liters is notably higher than the 1.7-1.8 liter range specified for the turbocharged 1.2 variants, indicating a physically larger or differently configured gearbox unit despite sharing the same model generation.
  • The 1.5 Diesel (75 kW) YHY manual transaxle is designated as filled for life, meaning no periodic fluid change interval is specified. The 1.7-1.8 liter capacity figure in a filled-for-life application serves primarily as a reference for refilling after repairs or component replacement rather than routine servicing.
  • The 1.5 Diesel YHY specifications appear across two overlapping year ranges, 2019-2020 and 2020-2023, both carrying the same filled-for-life designation and the same 1.7-1.8 liter capacity range for the manual transaxle.
