Additional Notes

  • The Daimler Six (1995-1998) manual transmission holds 1.4 liters of fluid, a figure that represents a service fill level rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill capacity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the fluid change interval is set at 45,000 km or 36 months, whichever comes first, pairing a distance threshold with a time limit to account for vehicles that accumulate mileage slowly.
  • The normal-use check interval is 15,000 km, meaning the fluid level is inspected three times within a single full change cycle of 45,000 km.
  • Under severe use conditions, the change interval shortens to every 6 months with no distance figure attached, making elapsed time the sole governing factor for fluid replacement in demanding operating environments.
  • The 1.4-liter capacity remains consistent across both the normal and severe use rows for the Six (1995-1998), indicating the transmission volume itself is unchanged regardless of the service schedule applied.
