Additional Notes

  • The Volvo PV445/P210 Duett (EU) manual transmission specifications cover two distinct model variants: the PV445, spanning 1957-1960, and the P210, spanning 1960-1969.
  • Both the PV445 (1957-1960) and the early P210 (1960-1962) share an identical dual-capacity pattern, with one transmission listing at 0,5 liter and another at 0,9 liter. The difference between these two figures typically reflects distinct transmission units fitted to the same model range, where the smaller value corresponds to a lighter gearbox and the larger to a heavier or overdrive-equipped unit.
  • The later P210 (1962-1969) consolidates to a single capacity of 0,75 liter across both listed entries, replacing the split 0,5/0,9 liter arrangement seen in the earlier variants.
  • The 0,75 liter capacity of the P210 (1962-1969) falls between the two earlier figures, suggesting a revised transmission unit that differs in internal volume from both predecessors.
  • All six specification rows carry a normal use condition, meaning the check and change intervals listed apply to standard operating circumstances rather than severe or demanding service cycles.
  • A fluid level check interval of 5000 km applies uniformly across all variants and model years covered in the specifications.
  • A fluid change interval of 20000 km is consistent across all listed configurations, from the PV445 (1957-1960) through to the P210 (1962-1969).
  • The 20000 km change interval, combined with the 5000 km check interval, means fluid level is verified four times between each scheduled drain and refill across all covered variants.
