BYD F5

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

BYD F5 power steering fluid capacity is 1 liter. Service intervals include checks at 10000 km/6 months or 12 months, and changes at 20000 km/12 months, 40000 km/24 months, or 40000 km. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The BYD F5 power steering system holds 1 liter of fluid across all listed engine configurations, a capacity consistent with a service fill rather than a full system overhaul.
  • The 1.5 (79 kW) variant carries a check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions, which is notably more frequent than the check interval assigned to the 1.5T (105 kW) variant.
  • The 1.5 (79 kW) configuration specifies a change interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, while the 1.5T (105 kW) configuration extends that interval to 40,000 km or 24 months, both under normal use conditions.
  • The 1.5T (105 kW) variant carries a dedicated initial service entry, where the change interval is listed as 40,000 km without a time-based component, distinguishing the first fluid change from subsequent normal-use intervals.
  • The 1.5 (79 kW) check interval uses a dual trigger of distance and time, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would prompt a fluid inspection, reflecting a combined-condition servicing approach.
  • The 1.5T (105 kW) normal-use check interval is expressed in time only at 12 months, with no accompanying distance figure, unlike the change interval for the same variant which includes both 40,000 km and 24 months.
