Additional Notes

  • The BMW V8, Glas (EU) 3000 V8 manual transmission holds 1.2 liters of fluid, a figure that applies consistently across all three service conditions specified for the 1967-1968 model years.
  • Under normal use conditions, a fluid level check is scheduled at 5,000 km intervals, with a full fluid change due at 20,000 km.
  • The initial service condition carries a fluid change interval of 1,000 km, a notably short interval compared to the normal 20,000 km change interval, reflecting the break-in period demands placed on fresh transmission components.
  • A second change only condition is also specified, with a fluid change interval of 10,000 km, placing it between the initial service and normal use intervals in terms of mileage.
  • The 1.2-liter capacity figure appearing identically across the normal, initial service, and second change only rows indicates a consistent service fill volume rather than a variation tied to overhaul or dry-fill procedures.
