Additional Notes
- The Daimler Super Eight 4.2 SC carries a rear differential fluid capacity of 1.25 liters, which is a relatively modest volume consistent with a sealed independent rear differential unit rather than a larger axle housing found in body-on-frame vehicles.
- The 1.25-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling the differential during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul or dry-build quantity.
- Under normal use conditions, the rear differential fluid interval is set at 16,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, meaning both a distance threshold and a time threshold govern when service is due.
- The 12-month time interval applies regardless of mileage accumulation, so low-mileage examples driven well under 16,000 km annually still fall due for a fluid check on a calendar basis.
- The specification applies uniformly across the 2003-2007 model years of the 4.2 SC variant, with no variation in capacity or interval recorded across that production span.
