This all new 4.0 litre V8 twin turbo joins the 6.0 litre W12 in the Continental range with the 6.75 litre V8 reserved for the Mulsanne. Each of these three engines had individual design criteria producing unique driving characteristics as a result each have individual lubrication requirements and oil consumption statistics. With the 4.0 litre V8 comes a new oil to Bentley - this new engine lubricant must only be used in the 4.0 litre V8. The use of the correct oil for each engine is critical to its continued performance, reliability and ultimately warranty. Therefor the workshop manual should always be the first point of reference ensuring the correct lubricant is used for each specific model year and engine type","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10170256-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10170256-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10170256","components":[{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"BENTAYGA","year_from":2016,"year_to":2016,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"CONTINENTAL","year_from":2012,"year_to":2016,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2012_bentley_continental","2013_bentley_continental","2014_bentley_continental","2015_bentley_continental","2016_bentley_continental"]},{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"CONTINENTAL CONVERTIBLE","year_from":2012,"year_to":2016,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2012_bentley_continental","2013_bentley_continental","2014_bentley_continental","2015_bentley_continental","2016_bentley_continental"]},{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"CONTINENTAL FLYING SPUR","year_from":2012,"year_to":2016,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2012_bentley_continental","2013_bentley_continental","2014_bentley_continental","2015_bentley_continental","2016_bentley_continental"]},{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"CONTINENTAL GT","year_from":2012,"year_to":2016,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2012_bentley_continental","2013_bentley_continental","2014_bentley_continental","2015_bentley_continental","2016_bentley_continental"]},{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"CONTINENTAL GT CABRIO","year_from":2012,"year_to":2016,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2012_bentley_continental","2013_bentley_continental","2014_bentley_continental","2015_bentley_continental","2016_bentley_continental"]},{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"FLYING SPUR","year_from":2012,"year_to":2013,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"FLYING SPUR","year_from":2014,"year_to":2016,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2014_bentley_flying-spur","2015_bentley_flying-spur","2016_bentley_flying-spur"]},{"make":"BENTLEY","model":"MULSANNE","year_from":2012,"year_to":2016,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2012_bentley_mulsanne","2013_bentley_mulsanne","2014_bentley_mulsanne","2015_bentley_mulsanne","2016_bentley_mulsanne"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
