Additional Notes

  • The Aston Martin DB6 4.0 manual transmission holds 2 liters of fluid, a figure consistent with the compact gearbox volumes typical of British grand tourers from the mid-1960s through early 1970s.
  • A check interval of every 4,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, applies under normal use conditions for the DB6 4.0 manual transmission.
  • The change interval under normal use is set at 16,000 km or 18 months, meaning a full fluid replacement cycle spans roughly three check intervals before a drain and refill is due.
  • The 2-liter service fill capacity reflects the amount of fluid used during a routine fluid change, as opposed to a larger overhaul or dry-fill figure that would account for an empty transmission and all associated passages.
  • Normal use conditions govern both the check and change intervals listed for the DB6 4.0, meaning the 4,000 km check and 16,000 km change schedules are not adjusted for more demanding driving environments in the available specifications.
