Additional Notes

  • The Vauxhall Viscount 3.3 PC manual transmission is listed with two distinct fluid capacities for the standard unit: 1.19 liters and 1.36 liters, both under normal use conditions.
  • The difference between 1.19 liters and 1.36 liters in the standard manual transmission likely reflects a drain-and-refill service fill versus a more complete overhaul or dry fill quantity, as is common when two capacities appear for the same transmission type.
  • The manual transmission with overdrive carries a notably higher fluid capacity of 2.05 liters, which reflects the additional fluid volume required by the overdrive unit integrated into the gearbox assembly.
  • Both the standard manual transmission entries specify a check interval of 20,000 km or 6 months under normal use, meaning the fluid level is to be inspected rather than replaced at that interval.
  • The overdrive-equipped transmission specifies a change interval of 20,000 km or 6 months under normal use, distinguishing a full fluid replacement from the level check specified for the standard units.
  • All three rows apply to the same 3.3 PC engine configuration across the 1966-1972 model years, indicating the interval and capacity differences are driven by transmission variant rather than engine or model year variation.
