DR DR5

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

DR DR5 uses brake fluid with a capacity range of 0.5 to 1.0 liters. Service intervals occur every 50000 km or 24 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
DR5 1.6 (2007-2014)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 50000 km/ 24 months
DR5 1.8 (2007-2014)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 50000 km/ 24 months
DR5 2.0 (2007-2014)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 50000 km/ 24 months

Additional Notes

  • The DR5 brake fluid reservoir is filled to a level between the minimum and maximum marks, which is a standard service fill indicator rather than a fixed volume, meaning the exact quantity added depends on the current fluid level at the time of service.
  • The hydraulic system covered by these specifications serves a dual function, encompassing both the brake and clutch circuits, which is common in vehicles where the clutch master cylinder shares fluid with the brake reservoir.
  • Across the 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 engine variants for 2007-2014, the change interval is identical at 50,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The 24-month time limit on the brake fluid change interval reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time and lowers its boiling point regardless of mileage accumulated.
  • The uniform service interval across all three engine displacements indicates that engine size does not influence the brake fluid replacement schedule on the DR5 for the 2007-2014 period.
