Additional Notes

  • The hydraulic brake/clutch system on the Chevrolet Spark M300 (USA/CAN) holds 0.5 liter of brake fluid, which is a typical reservoir capacity figure for a compact vehicle's combined brake and clutch hydraulic circuit.
  • The 1.2-liter engine configuration shares the same 0.5-liter brake fluid capacity across both the 2013 and 2014-2016 model year groups, indicating no change in hydraulic system volume between those production periods.
  • A check interval of every 7,500 miles is specified under normal use conditions, which is a routine inspection interval rather than a fluid replacement requirement.
  • The change interval is set at 45,000 miles or 36 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions. The 36-month time limit reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time and lowers its boiling point regardless of mileage accumulated.
  • The note identifying the system as a hydraulic brake/clutch system indicates the 1.2 engine in the Spark M300 uses a hydraulically actuated clutch that shares fluid with the brake circuit, meaning a single reservoir services both functions.
