Additional Notes

  • The Spyker Cars C8 Laviolette and C8 Spyder share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 3 liters across the 2006-2009 model years, which is consistent with a service fill volume for a low-production sports car gearbox rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • A 3-liter manual transmission fluid capacity places both C8 variants within a range typical of compact, high-performance transaxle or inline gearbox units, where fluid volume is kept relatively modest to reduce rotating mass and thermal load.
  • The check interval for manual transmission fluid on both the C8 Laviolette and C8 Spyder is set at 10,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, reflecting a dual-trigger maintenance schedule tied to both distance and elapsed time.
  • The change interval is specified at 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use, meaning a full fluid replacement cycle spans four years or four times the check interval distance, whichever threshold is reached earlier.
  • Both the C8 Laviolette and C8 Spyder carry identical check and change intervals for the 2006-2009 period, with no variation in service scheduling between the two body configurations despite their differing roof structures.
