Additional Notes
- The Bentley S Type and S Type Continental share an identical coolant capacity of 17.05 liters, meaning the Continental body variant carries no difference in cooling system volume relative to the standard configuration.
- A 17.05-liter cooling system capacity is characteristic of a large-displacement inline six-cylinder engine of the mid-1950s era, reflecting the substantial water jacket volume required to manage heat across a long engine block.
- Both the Type S and Type S Continental list a normal use condition for the 17.05-liter coolant capacity, indicating the specification applies to standard operating circumstances rather than a severe-duty or first-fill scenario.
