Daimler Six / Double Six

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Daimler Six / Double Six requires differential fluid with a capacity of 2,1 liters. Service intervals include checks at 15000 km or 12 months, and checks at 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 rear differential on the Daimler Double Six (1995-1997) and the Six (1995-1998) both share an identical fluid capacity of 2.1 liters, indicating a common rear differential unit across the two variants.
  • A 2.1-liter capacity for a rear differential is consistent with a standard passenger car limited-slip or open differential housing, representing a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or disassembly refill.
  • Under normal use conditions, the rear differential fluid check interval is set at 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applying equally to both the Six and the Double Six.
  • Under severe use conditions, the time-based check interval shortens to every 6 months, with no kilometer figure specified for either variant, reflecting the greater stress placed on drivetrain components in demanding operating environments.
  • The Double Six covers model years 1995-1997, while the Six extends through 1995-1998, meaning the Six has an additional model year in the specification range despite sharing the same rear differential capacity and interval structure.
