Austin A60, ADO38

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Austin A60 and ADO38 models utilize brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals occur every 1500 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications

A60 Cambridge (1961-1969)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Check 1500 km

Additional Notes

  • The Austin A60 Cambridge carries a brake fluid capacity defined by a minimum-to-maximum range rather than a fixed volume, which is typical of hydraulic reservoir systems where the fluid level is maintained within a marked band rather than filled to a precise quantity.
  • Both the petrol A60 Cambridge (1961-1969) and the diesel variant (1962-1969) share the same brake fluid specification, with the reservoir level to be kept between the minimum and maximum marks under normal use conditions.
  • The inspection interval for brake fluid level is set at 1500 km for both configurations, reflecting a relatively short check cycle consistent with the maintenance practices common to vehicles of the early 1960s era.
  • The diesel variant's production began in 1962, one year after the petrol A60 Cambridge, though both share an identical brake fluid service interval and reservoir fill specification through 1969.
  • The 1500 km check interval applies specifically to normal use conditions, as noted in the row specifications for both the petrol and diesel A60 Cambridge variants.
