Hudson Wasp

Clutch fluid capacity & service interval

Hudson Wasp clutch fluid capacity is 0,16 liter. Service intervals require a change every 5000 miles. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Hudson Wasp's hydraulic clutch system holds 0.16 liter of fluid, a small reservoir volume consistent with the modest demands of a clutch master cylinder circuit rather than a full drivetrain overhaul fill.
  • Both the Wasp and Super Wasp share an identical 0.16-liter clutch fluid capacity across the 1952-1954 model years, indicating no meaningful mechanical difference between the two trim levels in the hydraulic clutch circuit.
  • The specified change interval for clutch fluid in both configurations is 5,000 miles under normal use conditions, a relatively short interval by later standards, reflecting mid-century service practices and the fluid formulations available at the time.
  • The normal use condition tied to the 5,000-mile interval applies equally to the Wasp and Super Wasp, meaning no separate severe-duty interval is distinguished between the two variants in the 1952-1954 specifications.
