BAIC Senova U5 Plus

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

BAIC Senova U5 Plus uses brake fluid with a capacity of 1 liter. Service intervals consist of 40000 km or 24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The BAIC Senova U5 Plus carries a brake fluid capacity of 1 liter across both the 77 kW and 100 kW variants, which is a figure typical of a service fill for a hydraulic brake and clutch system rather than a full system overhaul volume.
  • Both power variants share an identical change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, applied under normal use conditions.
  • The 24-month time limit on the change interval reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, meaning the fluid absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time and degrades regardless of distance driven.
  • The note specifying a hydraulic brake and clutch system indicates the 1-liter capacity covers a shared fluid reservoir serving both functions, which is a common arrangement in vehicles with hydraulically actuated clutches.
  • The 77 kW and 100 kW configurations, both introduced from 2023, show no divergence in brake fluid capacity or service interval, meaning the difference in engine output has no bearing on the brake fluid service specifications.
