Additional Notes

  • The Hupmobile Model D (six cylinder) 518-D carries a differential fluid capacity of 1.3 liters, a figure consistent with a service fill specification for a rear differential unit of that era rather than a full overhaul or disassembly volume.
  • The 518-D rear differential fluid change interval is set at every 6 months, applied under normal use conditions, meaning routine driving rather than demanding or heavy-load operation.
  • A 6-month change interval on the rear differential, tied to normal use, reflects a time-based maintenance schedule rather than a mileage-based one, which was a common approach in mid-1930s service specifications.
