Additional Notes

  • The Aston Martin DBS 4.0 (1967-1972) carries a cooling system capacity of 15.9 liters, which is notably larger than the 15-liter figure shared by all V12 variants listed. A higher capacity in older engine designs often reflects less compact cooling circuit layouts common to that era.
  • No check or change intervals are listed for the DBS 4.0 (1967-1972), whereas the V12 variants carry explicit service schedules, reflecting a difference in how service data is recorded across the two generations.
  • All DBS V12 variants across the 2008-2012 period share an identical cooling system capacity of 15 liters, regardless of body style or model year subset.
  • The DBS V12 cooling system check interval is set at 16,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. The time-based component means the coolant condition is assessed at least once per year even in low-mileage use.
  • The coolant change interval for all DBS V12 variants is 160,000 km or 60 months under normal use conditions. The 60-month figure represents a five-year maximum service life for the coolant fluid regardless of distance traveled.
  • The DBS V12 Volante, a convertible body variant covered for 2010-2012, shares the same 15-liter capacity and identical check and change intervals as the coupe variants, indicating no cooling system differentiation between body styles.
  • The V12 variants span overlapping year ranges across multiple rows, with the 2009-2011 and 2011-2012 coupe entries sharing the year 2011 as a transition point. Both carry identical specifications, suggesting no cooling system changes were introduced at that production boundary.
