Glas V8

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Glas V8 manual transmission 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.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Glas V8 manual transmission holds 1.2 liters of fluid across both the 2600 and 3000 engine variants, a figure that applies equally to service fills and drain-and-refill procedures.
  • Under normal use conditions, the manual transmission fluid interval calls for a check every 5,000 km and a full change every 20,000 km, a schedule shared by both the 2600 V8 (1966-1967) and the 3000 V8 (1967-1968).
  • An initial service change is specified at 1,000 km for both variants, reflecting the common practice of removing metal particles and contaminants introduced during the break-in period of a new or rebuilt transmission.
  • A second change only interval is listed at 10,000 km for both the 2600 and 3000 V8 configurations, placing a mid-cycle fluid exchange between the early 1,000 km break-in change and the standard 20,000 km normal-use interval.
  • The 1.2-liter capacity figure remains consistent across all three service conditions — normal, initial service, and second change only — for both engine displacements, indicating no variation in fill volume regardless of the service stage.
  • The 2600 V8 and 3000 V8 share an identical three-stage service structure for the manual transmission: an early break-in change at 1,000 km, a second change at 10,000 km, and recurring normal-use changes at 20,000 km intervals with checks every 5,000 km.
