Additional Notes

  • The Ford Zephyr Six (1950-1956) and Zephyr Zodiac (1954-1956) share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.42 liters, indicating a service fill volume rather than a full overhaul or dry fill figure.
  • A check interval of 1,500 km applies to both configurations under normal use conditions, reflecting a relatively short inspection cycle by modern standards.
  • The fluid change interval is set at 8,000 km for both the Zephyr Six and Zephyr Zodiac under normal use, a figure consistent with maintenance expectations of mid-20th century vehicle engineering.
  • The Zephyr Zodiac entered the specification record in 1954, meaning the two configurations ran concurrently from 1954-1956 with no differentiation in transmission fluid capacity or service intervals between them.
