BYD F3

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

BYD F3 brake fluid capacity ranges from 0,8 to 1 liter. Service intervals include 20000 km/ 12 months, 24 months, 18 months, 40000 km/ 24 months, and 5000 km/ 3 months. The data covers 7 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Across all BYD F3 configurations listed, the brake fluid capacity falls within a 0.8–1 liter range, which is consistent with a service fill for a passenger car hydraulic brake circuit rather than a full system overhaul volume.
  • The BYD F3DM 1.0 (2008-2013) is the only configuration specifying a fluid check interval, set at every 5,000 km or 3 months, alongside a separate change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months.
  • The F3 1.5 (2009-2012) shares the same 40,000 km or 24-month change interval as the F3DM 1.0, while the earlier 1.5 and 1.6 variants using QCJ7150, QCJ7151, QCJ7361, QCJ7160, and QCJ7161 engine codes specify a shorter change interval of 20,000 km or 12 months.
  • The BYD F3 1.5 (113 kW) covering 2014-2021 carries two distinct interval entries depending on service stage. Under normal use, the change interval is 24 months, while the initial service interval is shorter at 18 months, reflecting a first-change recommendation for a freshly filled system.
  • The F3 1.5 (113 kW) and F3 1.6 (2005-2010) both note a combined hydraulic brake and clutch system, meaning the listed 0.8–1 liter capacity covers a shared fluid reservoir serving both functions simultaneously.
  • The F3 1.6 (2005-2010) entry lists only a capacity value of 0.8–1 liter with no change interval specified, making it distinct from all other rows in the dataset.
  • The shift from a dual distance-and-time interval (e.g., 20,000 km or 12 months) in the earlier QCJ-engine variants to a time-only interval (24 months) in the 2014-2021 F3 1.5 (113 kW) reflects a difference in how service schedules are structured across model generations.
