The Glas 1700 manual transmission holds 1.3 liters of fluid across all configurations covered in the 1964-1968 period, a capacity consistent with compact European gearboxes of that era.
Under normal use conditions, the manual transmission fluid change interval is set at 6000 km for both the 1700 (1964-1965) and 1700 (1965-1968) variants.
An initial service interval of 500 km applies to all three configurations, meaning the first fluid change was due very early in the vehicle's life, a practice associated with flushing out metal particles generated during the mechanical break-in period.
A second change only interval of 3000 km is specified separately from the normal 6000 km cycle, placing an intermediate drain between the initial 500 km service and the ongoing routine schedule.
The 1700 TS (1965-1968) shares the same 1.3-liter capacity and the same three-stage service structure — 500 km initial, 3000 km second change, and 6000 km normal — as the standard 1700 variants.
The 1.3-liter fill figure applies equally across the initial, second change, and normal service intervals, indicating a full drain-and-refill procedure rather than a partial top-up at each stage.
