Additional Notes

  • All Fendt 500 Vario S4 variants listed here carry a brake fluid capacity of 0.5 liter, a modest volume consistent with the limited hydraulic actuation role brake fluid plays in a pneumatic brake system, where compressed air handles the primary braking force rather than hydraulic pressure alone.
  • Each row is noted as a pneumatic brake system, meaning air pressure generates the main braking effort while brake fluid serves a supplementary hydraulic function, which explains why the fluid capacity is relatively low compared to fully hydraulic brake systems found in passenger vehicles.
  • The 512, 513, 514, and 516 Vario S4 model variants all share the identical 0.5 liter brake fluid capacity, indicating no variation in brake fluid reservoir sizing across the different power output configurations within the 500 Vario S4 range for 2017-2022.
  • Each model variant appears in two serial number series — one beginning at 00F05001 and one beginning at 0101 — yet both series within each model carry the same 0.5 liter capacity, showing no specification difference between the two production batches for brake fluid.
  • All specifications are listed under normal use conditions, meaning the 0.5 liter capacity figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or special-application scenarios.
