Additional Notes

  • All Fendt 500 Vario COM3b variants listed here carry a brake fluid capacity of 0.5 liter, a figure consistent with a reservoir service fill rather than a full hydraulic circuit volume.
  • The pneumatic brake system note applies uniformly across every listed variant, from the 512 through the 516 Vario. In a pneumatic brake arrangement, compressed air handles the primary braking force, and brake fluid is confined to a smaller hydraulic assist or actuator circuit, which aligns with the modest 0.5-liter capacity figure.
  • Each row is designated for normal use conditions, meaning the 0.5-liter capacity applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • The specifications cover two distinct regulatory emission tiers across each model number: Tier 3b / EPA 4i variants and Stage IIIb / EPA 4i variants. Despite the difference in emission certification designation, both variants within each model number share an identical 0.5-liter brake fluid capacity.
  • The 512, 513, 514, and 516 Vario model numbers each appear in two trim levels, Profi and ProfiPlus under the Tier 3b / EPA 4i classification, and Stage IIIb under a separate classification. Across all eight configurations, the brake fluid capacity remains constant at 0.5 liter.
  • Serial number ranges beginning at 0101 are recorded for each variant, with the year coverage spanning 2012-2017 across all listed configurations.
