AC Aceca

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

AC Aceca manual transmission fluid capacity is 1,4 liters. Service intervals include a check at 3000 km and a change at 4500 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The AC Aceca carries a manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.4 liters across both the Bristol 105 hp and Bristol 120 hp configurations, a figure that reflects a service fill volume typical of compact manual gearboxes from the era.
  • Both the 105 hp and 120 hp Bristol variants share identical service intervals, with a fluid check scheduled at 3,000 km and a full fluid change at 4,500 km under normal use conditions.
  • The 4,500 km change interval is notably short by modern standards, which is consistent with the lubricant technology and mechanical tolerances common to manual transmissions of the 1956-1963 period.
  • The check interval of 3,000 km preceding the 4,500 km change interval suggests a two-stage service approach, where fluid condition and level are verified before the full drain-and-fill service is due.
  • The uniformity of the 1.4-liter capacity and the 3,000/4,500 km intervals across both power outputs indicates that the Bristol engine variants in the Aceca shared the same transmission unit regardless of the horsepower rating.
