Hudson Super

Clutch fluid capacity & service interval

Hudson Super uses clutch fluid with a capacity of 0,16 liter. Service intervals require a change every 5000 miles. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Hudson Super clutch fluid capacity of 0.16 liter applies to a hydraulic clutch system, which uses fluid pressure rather than a mechanical linkage to engage and disengage the clutch.
  • A 0.16 liter reservoir is a small-volume system, consistent with the compact fluid chambers typical of hydraulic clutch master and slave cylinder assemblies of the mid-20th century era.
  • The Super Six and Super Eight configurations share an identical 0.16 liter clutch fluid capacity across all listed model years, indicating no volumetric difference between the six-cylinder and eight-cylinder hydraulic clutch assemblies.
  • The 5,000-mile change interval listed for normal use conditions applies uniformly to both the Super Six and Super Eight across the full 1946-1951 span covered in the specifications.
  • The 1946-1947 and 1948-1951 production splits for both the Super Six and Super Eight carry the same 0.16 liter capacity and 5,000-mile interval, meaning the mid-range model year transition introduced no change to clutch fluid service requirements.
