Bentley T

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Bentley T uses differential fluid with a capacity of 2,6 liters. Service intervals include checks at 20000 km and changes at 40000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Bentley T rear differential holds 2.6 liters of fluid, a figure that applies uniformly across both chassis variants defined by the SRH 6001 serial number boundary.
  • Pre-SRH 6001 units, covering the 1965-1969 production range, share an identical service schedule with post-SRH 6001 units spanning 1969-1977, with a fluid check interval set at 20,000 km and a full change interval at 40,000 km.
  • Both specifications are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the 40,000 km change interval reflects standard operating demands rather than a reduced severe-duty cycle.
  • The 2.6-liter rear differential capacity is consistent with a unit designed for a full-size luxury saloon, where a larger housing volume supports adequate lubrication film thickness across the gear set under sustained load.
  • The SRH 6001 serial number serves as the dividing line between the two listed configurations, yet the fluid capacity and service intervals remain unchanged across that boundary, indicating no mechanical revision to the differential assembly that would alter lubrication requirements.
