Austin Gipsy

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Austin Gipsy differential fluid capacity ranges from 1,5 to 1,73 liters. Service intervals include checking at 1600 km or 5000 km/3 months, and changing at 10000 km or 20000 km/12 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Austin Gipsy G2M10/15 (1958-1963) carries 1.7 liters in both the front and rear differentials, making the two axles identical in fluid capacity for that generation.
  • With the G4M10/15 (1964-1968), the front differential holds 1.73 liters while the rear holds 1.5 liters, meaning the two axles are no longer equal and require separate measurement when servicing.
  • The same front and rear capacity figures of 1.73 liters and 1.5 liters apply to both the petrol and diesel G4M10/15 variants from 1964-1968, with no difference between the two engine types in differential fill volume.
  • The G2M10/15 (1958-1963) specifies a check interval of 1,600 km with no time-based equivalent stated, while the G4M10/15 (1964-1968) uses a dual-condition check interval of 5,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first under normal use.
  • The fluid change interval for the G2M10/15 (1958-1963) is set at 10,000 km with no time-based condition, whereas the G4M10/15 (1964-1968) extends the drain interval to 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use.
  • The doubling of the change interval from 10,000 km on the G2M10/15 to 20,000 km on the G4M10/15 reflects a significant shift in service scheduling between the two generations, applicable to both front and rear differentials.
  • All six rows across both generations and both engine types are rated for normal use conditions, meaning none of the listed intervals carry a severe-duty or first-change-only designation.
