Fendt C series

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Fendt C series requires brake fluid with a capacity range of 0,25 to 0,3 liters. Service intervals include a check every 225 hours and a change every 24 months. The data covers 9 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Fendt C series hydraulic brake systems fall into two distinct capacity groups: 0.3 liter for the 2008-2011 models and 0.25 liter for the 2016 and later models. A 0.3-liter brake fluid reservoir is a relatively small but typical volume for a hydraulic brake circuit on compact agricultural machinery of this class.
  • The reduction from 0.3 liter to 0.25 liter between the 2008-2011 and 2016 model generations applies consistently across both the 5270/5275 and 6300/6335 model lines, reflecting a shared hydraulic brake system design within each respective generation.
  • The 5270 C and 5270 C-AL (2008-2011) share identical brake fluid specifications, including the 0.3-liter capacity, a 225-hour check interval, and a 24-month change interval. The -AL designation therefore carries no differentiation in brake system servicing requirements.
  • A 225-hour check interval, as specified for the 2008-2011 models, is a periodic inspection point rather than a fluid replacement event. At this interval, fluid level and condition are assessed without necessarily draining and refilling the system.
  • The 24-month change interval on the 2008-2011 models is time-based rather than hour-based. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time through a process called hygroscopic absorption, which lowers its boiling point, making calendar-based replacement a standard industry practice regardless of operating hours accumulated.
  • The 6300 C and 6300 C-AL (2008-2011) carry the same 0.3-liter capacity, 225-hour check, and 24-month change interval as the 5270 C variants from the same period, indicating a unified brake system specification across different model sizes within that generation.
  • The 5275 C SL, Stage V (2020) variant shares the 0.25-liter brake fluid capacity with the standard 5275 C and 5275 C PL-PLI configurations. Stage V refers to EU emissions regulation compliance, which governs engine exhaust standards and does not alter the brake system capacity in this case.
  • The 6335 C PL (2016) and the standard 6335 C both specify 0.25 liter for the hydraulic brake system, with no variation between the PL trim and the base configuration in brake fluid capacity.
