Maserati Bora, AM 117

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Maserati Bora, AM 117 manual transmission fluid capacity is 3,3 liters. Service intervals consist of a check at 10000 km and a change at 20000 km. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Maserati Bora AM 117 uses a transaxle-mounted manual transmission, a layout where the gearbox and final drive are combined into a single unit at the rear axle, which accounts for the relatively substantial 3.3-liter fluid capacity shared across all configurations.
  • Both the 4700 and 4900 engine variants carry an identical transaxle fluid capacity of 3.3 liters, indicating no mechanical difference in the transmission unit between the two engine displacements.
  • Each configuration lists both a normal and an alternative (acceptable) fluid specification at the same 3.3-liter capacity, meaning the fill volume remains constant regardless of which approved fluid type is used.
  • The check interval is set at 10,000 km under normal use conditions, a relatively short inspection cycle that reflects the transaxle's combined role in handling both gear selection and differential functions.
  • The fluid change interval of 20,000 km under normal use conditions applies uniformly to both the 4700 and 4900 transaxle configurations across the 1974-1982 production span.
