Additional Notes

  • The Daimler SP250 rear differential holds 0.85 liter of fluid, a relatively modest capacity consistent with the compact rear axle unit fitted to this lightweight sports car.
  • Under normal use conditions, the rear differential fluid is checked at 8,000 km intervals and changed at 16,000 km intervals.
  • An initial service change is specified at 800 km, a significantly earlier interval than the standard 16,000 km change cycle under normal use.
  • The 800 km initial service interval applies across the full 1959-1964 production span, with the same 0.85 liter capacity recorded for both the initial service and normal use conditions.
