Chery IndiS / X1
Brake fluid capacity & service interval
Chery IndiS / X1 requires 0,52 liter of brake fluid. Service intervals occur every 40000 km or 48 months. The data covers 2 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.
| Type | Specifications |
|---|---|
| IndiS / X1 1.5 16V (2013-2015) |
|
| IndiS / X1 1.3 16V (2011-2015) |

Additional Notes
- Both the 1.3 16V and 1.5 16V engine variants share an identical brake fluid capacity of 0.52 liter, which is a typical fill volume for a combined hydraulic brake and clutch system in a subcompact vehicle.
- The Chery IndiS / X1 1.3 16V covers model years 2011-2015, while the 1.5 16V variant spans 2013-2015, meaning the smaller-displacement engine has a longer production run within the specified period.
- The 0.52 liter capacity figure represents a service fill for the hydraulic system rather than a dry or overhaul fill, as brake fluid reservoirs in normal service retain residual fluid during a change procedure.
- The change interval for both variants is set at 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would trigger a fluid replacement.
- A 48-month interval translates to a four-year replacement cycle, which aligns with the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid — a property that causes moisture absorption over time and lowers the fluid's boiling point regardless of mileage accumulation.
- The hydraulic system on both variants serves a dual function, covering both the brake and clutch circuits, which means the single 0.52 liter capacity and the associated service interval apply collectively to both subsystems.
