Additional Notes

  • The Facel Vega HK 500 manual transmission holds 2.25 liters of fluid, a figure consistent with the fill capacity expected during a routine service rather than a full overhaul drain-and-refill of a larger unit.
  • The 30,000 km change interval applies under normal use conditions, meaning the interval is tied to standard operating circumstances rather than demanding or high-stress driving environments.
  • A 2.25-liter capacity places the HK 500 manual transmission in a relatively modest range for a grand touring vehicle of the late 1950s and early 1960s, reflecting the compact internal volume of the gearbox rather than a larger transaxle arrangement.
