Bentley Flying Spur, 4W

Coolant capacity & service interval

Bentley Flying Spur 4W coolant capacity ranges from 18,5 to 20 liters. Service intervals require checks every 32000 km or 24 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Bentley Flying Spur, 4W cooling system capacity splits along engine lines, with V8 variants holding 18.5 liters and W12 variants holding 20 liters.
  • The 1.5-liter difference between the V8 and W12 cooling systems reflects the greater thermal mass and additional cylinder count of the twelve-cylinder engine, which requires a larger volume of coolant to regulate operating temperatures.
  • The Flying Spur V8 carries an 18.5-liter cooling system capacity across its full 2013-2019 production span, with no revision to that figure over the period.
  • The Flying Spur V8 S, introduced from 2017, shares the same 18.5-liter cooling system capacity as the standard V8, indicating no structural change to the cooling circuit between the two V8 variants.
  • The Flying Spur W12 E85 and the Flying Spur W12 share the same 20-liter cooling system capacity, with the E85 flex-fuel designation referring to ethanol-blend fuel compatibility rather than any alteration to the cooling circuit volume.
  • The Flying Spur W12 S E85, available from 2017, retains the 20-liter cooling system capacity established by earlier W12 configurations, placing all W12-engined variants on a consistent cooling system fill volume.
  • All five configurations carry a uniform coolant check interval of 32,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, applying equally across both engine families and all model years covered.
  • A 24-month time-based interval runs alongside the 32,000 km distance interval for all listed variants, meaning a vehicle with low annual mileage would still reach a service check point on the calendar schedule before accumulating the full distance.
