Additional Notes
- The automatic transmission fluid capacity for the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II is 13.6 liters, a figure consistent with large-displacement luxury vehicles of the era that used full hydraulic automatic transmissions with substantial fluid reservoirs to manage heat and pressure across multiple operating circuits.
- The 13.6-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the volume required during a standard fluid change rather than a complete overhaul, which would typically demand a higher volume to account for fluid retained within the torque converter and valve body passages.
- The check interval is set at 10,000 km under normal use conditions, placing routine fluid level inspection at half the frequency of a full fluid change, which reflects a maintenance philosophy oriented toward early detection of fluid degradation or loss before a scheduled change becomes due.
- The fluid change interval under normal use conditions is 20,000 km, applicable to the Silver Shadow II across the 1977-1980 model years covered in the specifications.
- The normal use condition tied to both the 10,000 km check and 20,000 km change interval refers to standard operating environments, as opposed to severe conditions such as frequent towing, extreme temperatures, or stop-and-go driving, which would typically warrant shorter service intervals in general automotive practice.
