Additional Notes
- The Bentley R Type rear differential holds 1 liter of fluid, which is consistent with a service fill capacity for a compact, conventional rear axle unit of the era.
- Under normal use conditions, the rear differential fluid change interval is set at 16,000 km, applying to the 4½-litre Type R configuration across the 1952-1955 production span.
- The 1-liter capacity figure represents the amount of fluid required during a routine service fill, not a full overhaul quantity, which would typically account for additional volume in the axle housing and associated components.
