Chery M11 / M12

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Chery M11 / M12 requires brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals include 50000 km or 24 months and 40000 km or 48 months. The data covers 8 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Across all Chery M11 / M12 engine variants covered in the specifications, brake fluid fill quantity is defined by the reservoir's minimum and maximum markers rather than a fixed volume, which is standard practice for hydraulic brake and clutch systems where the fluid level reflects pad wear and system condition rather than a measured capacity.
  • The hydraulic brake/clutch system note applies uniformly to the 1.6 (88 kW), 1.6 (95 kW), 1.8, and 2.0 engine variants across the 2008-2015 model range, indicating a shared hydraulic circuit architecture for both braking and clutch actuation in all listed configurations.
  • Two distinct change intervals appear for every engine variant: 50,000 km or 24 months, and 40,000 km or 48 months. Both are listed under normal use conditions, meaning neither is tied to a severe-duty scenario.
  • The 50,000 km / 24-month interval pairs a longer distance threshold with a shorter time limit of two years, while the 40,000 km / 48-month interval pairs a shorter distance threshold with a longer time limit of four years. The time component in each case acts as an independent trigger, so whichever limit is reached first would govern the service event.
  • The 24-month time limit in the first interval reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time and lowers its boiling point regardless of mileage accumulation.
  • The 48-month time limit in the second interval is notably longer than the two-year limit in the first, suggesting a different fluid specification or formulation may underlie each interval, though the specifications do not name a fluid grade for either entry.
  • No variation in service intervals exists between the two 1.6-litre outputs — the 88 kW and 95 kW versions carry identical interval pairs — indicating power output alone does not differentiate brake fluid service requirements within the 1.6-litre family.
  • The 1.8 and 2.0 engine variants share the same dual-interval structure as the 1.6 variants, with 50,000 km / 24 months and 40,000 km / 48 months applying equally across all displacements in the 2008-2015 range.
