Bentley Continental GT, 3S

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Bentley Continental GT, 3S uses automatic transmission fluid with a capacity of 11,9 liters. The service interval for fluid replacement is 800000 km. 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 Continental GT, 3S carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 11.9 liters across the V8, W12, and W12 Speed configurations, which is consistent with a full service fill for a semi-automatic transmission of this class.
  • The V8 variant, introduced from 2019, shares the same 11.9-liter capacity as the W12, indicating that the transmission fluid volume is not influenced by engine displacement in the Continental GT, 3S lineup.
  • The W12 configuration, starting from 2018, carries the same 11.9-liter fluid capacity and 800,000 km change interval as the later W12 Speed variant introduced from 2020, despite the Speed designation typically reflecting performance-oriented tuning.
  • An 800,000 km fluid change interval under normal use conditions is an exceptionally long service threshold, reflecting a sealed or lifetime-rated transmission design rather than a conventional periodic maintenance schedule.
  • All three configurations specify normal use conditions for the 800,000 km interval, meaning the interval applies to standard operating environments rather than severe or demanding driving conditions.
  • The semi-automatic transmission noted across all three rows refers to a dual-clutch or automated manual-type unit, which typically requires precise fluid volume management, making the 11.9-liter capacity figure relevant for accurate service fills.
