Bentley Azure, 3Z

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Bentley Azure and 3Z models require automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 11,5 to 12,6 liters. Service intervals consist of 16000 km or 12 months and 60000 km or 72 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Bentley Azure 3Z carries a total automatic transmission fluid capacity of 12.6 liters, a figure associated with a full overhaul or dry fill where the torque converter and all internal passages are completely evacuated before refilling.
  • A separate 11.5-liter capacity is listed for the Azure (2006-2010) alongside a 60,000 km or 72-month change interval under normal use conditions, representing the service fill volume typical of a drain-and-refill procedure rather than a complete overhaul.
  • The 16,000 km or 12-month change interval tied to the 12.6-liter capacity on the Azure (2006-2010) reflects a more frequent fluid exchange cycle under normal use, suggesting a partial or full flush service performed at shorter mileage and time thresholds.
  • The Azure T (2008-2010) shares the 11.5-liter capacity and the 60,000 km or 72-month normal-use interval with the standard Azure, indicating the turbocharged variant follows the same service fill specification for automatic transmission fluid despite its higher-output engine configuration.
