Daimler Six / Double Six

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Daimler Six / Double Six requires automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 4 to 7,3 liters. Service intervals include checking every 15000 km or 12 months, changing every 45000 km or 36 months, and changing every 6 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Daimler Double Six (1995-1997) carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 7.3 liters, while the Six (1995-1998) holds 4 liters, reflecting the difference in transmission size between the two engine configurations.
  • Under normal use conditions, both the Double Six and the Six share the same check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months for automatic transmission fluid.
  • The normal-use change interval for both configurations is set at 45,000 km or 36 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use conditions, the change interval for the Double Six drops to every 6 months, with no distance figure specified alongside, indicating a time-based service trigger rather than a mileage-based one.
  • The Six follows the same severe-use pattern, with a 6-month change interval and no accompanying distance threshold listed in the specifications.
  • The 7.3-liter capacity of the Double Six automatic transmission is notably high and is consistent with a full-service fill figure for a large-displacement V12-powered drivetrain.
  • The 4-liter capacity recorded for the Six represents a substantially smaller transmission fill, in keeping with the inline-six powertrain used in that variant.
