Datsun (Nissan) Cherry, E10/F10

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Datsun (Nissan) Cherry, E10/F10 requires brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals include a check at 5000 km and a change at 40000 km. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Datsun (Nissan) Cherry E10/F10 brake fluid specifications apply to the hydraulic brake system across all listed configurations, covering model years 1970-1979.
  • Across all four configurations, the fill level target is expressed as a range between the minimum and maximum reservoir marks rather than a fixed volume, which is standard practice for brake fluid reservoirs where precise milliliter capacities are not specified at the service level.
  • The 100A E10 (1970-1976) is the only configuration carrying explicit interval data, with a check interval of every 5,000 km and a full fluid change interval of every 40,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • The 100A F-II F10 (1976-1979) and 120A F-II F10 (1976-1979) share the same specification format, listing only the min-to-max fill guidance without any stated check or change intervals.
  • The 120A E10 (1972-1976) similarly carries no interval data beyond the min-to-max level specification, distinguishing it from the earlier 100A E10 variant despite both belonging to the E10 body series.
  • A 40,000 km change interval, as noted for the 100A E10, reflects a relatively extended service life for brake fluid, consistent with the lower moisture-absorption demands expected under normal rather than severe operating conditions.
