Chery A5
Brake fluid capacity & service interval
Chery A5 brake fluid capacity ranges between min and max values. Service intervals consist of 50000 km or 24 months and 25000 km or 12 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

Additional Notes
- The Chery A5 hydraulic brake/clutch system fluid level is specified as "between min and max," meaning the reservoir must not be filled beyond the upper mark or allowed to drop below the lower mark, as either condition affects braking performance.
- Under normal use conditions, the brake fluid change interval across the 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 engine variants is 50,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first.
- Under severe use conditions, the same three engine variants call for a brake fluid change at 25,000 km or 12 months, exactly half the distance and time of the normal use interval.
- The halving of the service interval under severe conditions reflects the accelerated hygroscopic degradation brake fluid undergoes when subjected to more frequent or intense heat cycles, which lowers its boiling point more rapidly.
- All three engine displacements, 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0, share identical brake fluid service intervals for both normal and severe use, indicating no engine-size-related variation in the brake/clutch hydraulic service schedule across the 2006-2010 model years.
- The specification covers the hydraulic brake and clutch system together, meaning the same fluid reservoir and change interval apply to both functions on all listed A5 variants.
