Glas V8

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Glas V8 differential fluid capacity is 1,2 liters. Service intervals include checks at 5000 km and changes at 1000 km, 10000 km, and 20000 km. The data covers 6 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Glas V8 rear differential holds 1.2 liters across both the 2600 and 3000 engine variants, a capacity figure that applies equally to service fills in all listed use conditions.
  • Under normal use conditions, the rear differential fluid on the 2600 V8 (1966-1967) is subject to a check interval of 5,000 km and a change interval of 20,000 km.
  • The initial service change for the 2600 V8 rear differential is scheduled at 1,000 km, a notably short interval consistent with break-in service practices intended to remove metal particles generated during early component wear-in.
  • A second change only interval of 10,000 km is specified for the 2600 V8, placing a single additional fluid change between the initial 1,000 km service and the recurring 20,000 km normal change cycle.
  • The 3000 V8 (1967-1968) shares the same rear differential capacity of 1.2 liters and an identical normal-use check interval of 5,000 km with a change interval of 20,000 km.
  • The 3000 V8 also carries an initial service change at 1,000 km and a second change only interval at 10,000 km, mirroring the structured break-in schedule seen on the 2600 V8.
  • The overlap year of 1967 is shared between both the 2600 V8 and the 3000 V8 specifications, indicating a period during which both engine variants were in production with identical differential fluid capacities and service intervals.
