Additional Notes

  • Across all V12 Vantage variants, brake fluid capacity is expressed as a level range rather than a fixed volume, meaning the reservoir must be maintained between the minimum and maximum marks rather than filled to a precise measured quantity.
  • The hydraulic brake/clutch system notation applies to all listed variants, reflecting a shared fluid circuit where brake fluid also serves the clutch actuation system.
  • The Aston Martin V12 Vantage (2010-2013) and the V12 Vantage Zagato Stradale (2012-2013) share a two-part service approach: a fluid level check at 16,000 km intervals combined with a mandatory fluid change every 12 months regardless of distance.
  • The V12 Vantage Roadster, V12 Vantage S, and V12 Vantage S Roadster all follow a combined interval of 16,000 km or 12 months for fluid changes, whichever comes first, replacing the separate check-and-change schedule used on earlier variants.
  • The 12-month change interval on the 2010-2013 V12 Vantage reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time and degrades boiling point performance independent of mileage accumulation.
  • The Vantage GT12 in both the 433 kW and 444 kW outputs carries a notably extended change interval of 32,000 km or 24 months, which is double the distance and time interval specified for the V12 Vantage S variants covering the same 2015-2018 period.
  • The two Vantage GT12 power outputs, 433 kW and 444 kW, share identical brake fluid service intervals of 32,000 km or 24 months, indicating the interval difference between GT12 and other variants is not driven by output level.
