Glas Goggomobil

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Glas Goggomobil manual transmission fluid capacity is 1,5 liters. Service intervals include checking at 2500 km and changing at 10000 km. The data covers 6 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • All six Glas Goggomobil variants covered by these specifications share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.5 liters, which is consistent with the very compact gearbox units found in microcars of this era.
  • The T-series variants (T250, T300, T400) carry a production span of 1955-1969, while the TS-series variants (TS250, TS300, TS400) begin two years later in 1957, though all six share the same fluid capacity and service intervals.
  • A fluid level check interval of 2,500 km applies to all six variants under normal use conditions, reflecting a relatively frequent inspection schedule typical of small-displacement transmissions from the mid-twentieth century.
  • The fluid change interval of 10,000 km under normal use conditions means a full drain-and-refill was specified at roughly four times the frequency of each level check, a ratio common in period maintenance schedules for mechanically operated gearboxes.
  • The designation of normal use conditions across all six variants means the 2,500 km check and 10,000 km change intervals are not adjusted for more demanding driving scenarios within these specifications.
  • The 1.5-liter capacity figure applies uniformly across the 250 cc, 300 cc, and 400 cc displacement variants in both the T and TS series, indicating the transmission housing dimensions remained consistent regardless of engine size within the Goggomobil range.
