Additional Notes

  • The Austin 3-Litre, ADO61 brake fluid specification applies to the hydraulic brake system, which uses fluid pressure transmitted through lines and cylinders to actuate the brakes at each wheel.
  • The service interval for the hydraulic brake system calls for a fluid level check every 5,000 km or 3 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • A full fluid change is specified at 30,000 km or 18 months under normal use conditions, meaning the entire hydraulic brake system fluid is replaced rather than simply topped off.
  • The fill level is defined as between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, a range that reflects the acceptable operating volume for maintaining consistent hydraulic pressure without overfilling.
