Additional Notes

  • The Lamborghini Diablo manual transmission holds 3.5 liters of fluid across all listed configurations, spanning the 1990-1997 base model, the 1998-2001 Diablo and Diablo Roadster, and the 2000-2001 Diablo 6.0.
  • A 3.5-liter fill capacity is a relatively substantial volume for a manual transaxle, consistent with the mid-engine supercar layout where the gearbox and differential are often housed in a shared casing requiring greater fluid volume.
  • The check interval is set at 12,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning fluid level and condition are inspected at that mileage point before a full drain is due.
  • The change interval is 24,000 km under normal use conditions, placing the drain-and-refill cycle at exactly double the check interval across all three listed configurations.
  • The Diablo Roadster shares identical manual transmission fluid capacity and service intervals with the closed-body 1998-2001 Diablo, indicating no specification difference between the two body styles in that period.
  • The Diablo 6.0, despite representing a later and more powerful variant of the platform, carries the same 3.5-liter capacity and the same 12,000 km check and 24,000 km change intervals as the earlier 1990-1997 model.
