Additional Notes

  • The Bentley Continental GTC 3W power steering system holds 1.8 liters of fluid across all listed variants, from the base Continental GTC through to the Supersports ISR. A capacity at this level is typical of a hydraulic power steering reservoir fill, representing the serviceable fluid volume rather than a full system overhaul quantity.
  • The check interval is set at 32,000 km or 24 months for every variant in the range, whichever comes first under normal use conditions. The dual-trigger format means a vehicle driven infrequently will still require a fluid check within two years regardless of mileage accumulated.
  • The E85 variants, including the Continental GTC E85 and Continental GTC Speed E85 covering 2011-2012, share the same 1.8-liter capacity and 32,000 km/24-month check interval as their non-E85 counterparts. E85 refers to a flex-fuel capability using up to 85% ethanol blends, though the power steering system itself operates independently of fuel type.
  • The Continental GTC Speed, introduced in 2009, carries the same power steering fluid capacity and service interval as the standard Continental GTC despite representing a higher-performance variant with increased engine output. No differentiation in power steering specifications exists between the two across their overlapping model years.
  • The Continental GTC Supersports ISR spans 2011-2013, making it the longest-running variant in the listed range. ISR denotes an Independent Shifting Rod transmission, a dual-clutch style gearbox, yet the power steering fluid capacity and check interval remain at 1.8 liters and 32,000 km/24 months, consistent with all other variants.
  • The Supersports E85 and Supersports ISR are distinct configurations despite both carrying the Supersports designation. The E85 version is listed for 2011-2012 while the ISR runs through 2013, and both share identical power steering fluid specifications with the rest of the Continental GTC 3W lineup.
