Additional Notes

  • The Aston Martin DB5 4.0 manual transmission holds 2 liters of fluid, a figure consistent with the compact gearbox designs typical of British grand tourers from the early 1960s.
  • Under normal use conditions, the manual transmission fluid on the DB5 4.0 is subject to an inspection interval of every 4,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first.
  • The change interval for the DB5 4.0 manual transmission fluid under normal use is set at 16,000 km or 18 months, reflecting a relatively conservative service cycle by modern standards.
  • The gap between the check interval of 4,000 km and the change interval of 16,000 km means the fluid level and condition are inspected approximately four times before a full drain and refill is due.
