TVR Griffith

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

TVR Griffith uses differential fluid with a capacity of 2 liters. Service intervals include 10000 km or 6 months and 10000 km. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The TVR Griffith rear differential holds 2 liters of fluid across all listed configurations spanning 1991-2002, a capacity consistent with a compact limited-slip or open differential unit typical of rear-wheel-drive sports cars of that era.
  • The 1991-1995 Griffith rear differential service interval is specified under normal use conditions as a check every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, meaning mileage alone does not determine the service schedule.
  • The Griffith 500 covering 1994-1996 shares the same 2-liter rear differential capacity and the same dual-trigger check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions.
  • The later Griffith 500 spanning 1996-2002 retains the 2-liter rear differential capacity but the service interval is listed only as 10,000 km, without the 6-month time-based condition present in the earlier specifications.
  • The shift from a combined distance-and-time interval to a distance-only interval between the 1994-1996 and 1996-2002 Griffith 500 specifications represents a notable difference in how the rear differential check schedule is defined across the two production periods.
