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

Additional Notes
- Both the U 1300 and U 1700 variants of the Unimog (MB) 435 share an identical brake fluid capacity of 0.8 liter for the hydraulic brake system, indicating a relatively modest reservoir volume consistent with a dedicated hydraulic circuit rather than a combined or overhaul-level fill.
- The 12-month change interval applies under normal use conditions for both variants, meaning brake fluid in the hydraulic brake system is renewed on an annual basis regardless of mileage or operating hours accumulated within that period.
- An annual brake fluid change interval, as specified here, reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time and lowers the boiling point of the fluid within the hydraulic system.
- The capacity and change interval specifications are consistent across the U 1300 and U 1700 model designations for the full 1985-1992 production span covered, with no variation recorded between the two variants in either volume or service timing.
