Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 11,36 to 11,5 liters. Service intervals include 4000 km for checks and 20000 to 32000 km for changes. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I (SWA-2 and later, 1955-1959) carries an automatic transmission fluid capacity of 11.36 liters, which represents a full system fill figure typical of a complete overhaul or dry-fill procedure rather than a routine drain-and-refill service.
  • The Silver Cloud I specifies a fluid change interval of 32,000 km under normal use conditions, a relatively extended drain interval consistent with the service expectations of luxury vehicles from that era.
  • The Silver Cloud II 6.2 (1959-1962) raises the automatic transmission fluid capacity slightly to 11.5 liters, the highest capacity value across all three Silver Cloud configurations listed.
  • Unlike the Silver Cloud I and III, the Silver Cloud II 6.2 includes a dedicated fluid level check interval of 4,000 km alongside the 32,000 km change interval, both under normal use conditions.
  • The Silver Cloud II 6.2 and Silver Cloud I share the same 32,000 km change interval under normal use, despite the Silver Cloud II carrying a marginally larger fluid capacity.
  • The Silver Cloud III 6.2 (1962-1966) returns to the 11.36-liter capacity seen in the Silver Cloud I, matching that earlier figure exactly.
  • The Silver Cloud III 6.2 specifies a notably shorter change interval of 20,000 km under normal use conditions, a reduction of 12,000 km compared to the Silver Cloud I and Silver Cloud II 6.2 intervals.
