Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Dacia Previous models use brake fluid with a capacity of 0,4 liter. Service intervals include 30000 km/36 months and 40000 km/48 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

  • Change 40000 km/ 48 months
Duster (4x4) (1984-1999)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,4 liter
  • Change 40000 km/ 48 months

Additional Notes

  • The hydraulic brake system capacity across all three configurations — the 1210, 1310, 1410, the Duster 4x2, and the Duster 4x4 — is uniformly rated at 0.4 liter, a figure consistent with a service fill of a compact passenger vehicle brake circuit rather than a full system overhaul volume.
  • For the Dacia 1210, 1310, and 1410 covering model years 1984-1995, the brake fluid change interval under normal use conditions is set at 30,000 km or 36 months, whichever comes first.
  • The Duster 4x2 and Duster 4x4, both spanning 1984-1999, carry a longer brake fluid change interval of 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, compared to the 30,000 km / 36-month interval assigned to the 1210, 1310, and 1410 models.
  • The time-based interval of 36 months on the 1210, 1310, and 1410 reflects a three-year maximum service life for the brake fluid regardless of mileage accumulation, a standard practice tied to brake fluid's hygroscopic nature and its tendency to absorb moisture over time.
  • The 48-month time-based interval on both Duster variants extends the fluid service life to four years, meaning the calendar-based threshold on the Duster is one full year longer than on the 1210, 1310, and 1410 series.
  • All three row entries specify normal use conditions, meaning the stated intervals apply to standard operating environments rather than severe or demanding duty cycles.
