Additional Notes

  • All Aston Martin V8 variants listed across the 1982-2001 period share a uniform rear differential fluid capacity of 2 liters, which is consistent with a service fill volume for a rear axle differential housing rather than a full overhaul or bench-fill quantity.
  • The 8,000 km check interval applies to all listed variants under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid level is inspected at that mileage point without necessarily being replaced.
  • The change interval for rear differential fluid across all listed variants is 16,000 km under normal use, exactly double the check interval, placing the drain-and-refill service at every second inspection point.
  • The V8 Lagonda covered the 1982-1990 model years in these specifications, and despite being a distinct four-door body style, the rear differential capacity and service intervals are identical to the two-door variants of the same era.
  • The V8 Vantage appears across two separate production periods, 1984-1988 and 1993-2001, both carrying the same 2-liter capacity and 16,000 km change interval, indicating no revision to the rear differential specification between those generations.
  • The V8 Virage is represented by two consecutive entries covering 1988-1991 and 1991-2001, with the later entry also encompassing the Volante body variant, yet both share the same rear differential fluid capacity and service schedule.
  • The V8 Volante from 1982-1988 and the V8 Saloon from 1982-1988 carry identical rear differential specifications, reflecting a shared drivetrain architecture across those body styles during that period.
