Fiat 130 (EU)
Brake fluid capacity & service interval
Fiat 130 (EU) uses brake fluid with a capacity range of 0,27 to 0,35 liters. Service intervals require a check every 500 km. The data covers 4 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.
| Type | Specifications |
|---|---|
| 130 3200 (1971-1977) |
|
| 130 Coupé, BC (1971-1977) |
|
| 130 2900 (119 kW) (1970-1971) |
|
| 130 2900 (103 kW) (1969-1970) |

Additional Notes
- The Fiat 130 (EU) brake fluid specifications cover the hydraulic brake system across all listed configurations, with capacity values that reflect the total fluid volume held within the system under normal use conditions.
- The 130 2900 in both its 103 kW (1969-1970) and 119 kW (1970-1971) forms shares a brake fluid capacity of 0.27 liter, indicating the hydraulic system volume remained consistent across the two power outputs of the 2900 engine.
- The 130 3200 (1971-1977) carries a brake fluid capacity of 0.35 liter, a figure also shared by the 130 Coupé, BC (1971-1977), representing a larger hydraulic system volume compared to the earlier 2900 variants.
- The increase from 0.27 liter to 0.35 liter between the 2900 and the 3200 and Coupé configurations reflects a difference in hydraulic system size, which is consistent with the larger displacement engine and potentially revised braking hardware introduced in 1971.
- A check interval of 500 km applies uniformly across all four configurations under normal use conditions, indicating a relatively short inspection cycle for brake fluid level monitoring regardless of engine variant or body style.
- The 500 km check interval is notably short by general automotive standards, where brake fluid inspections are more commonly scheduled at several thousand kilometers, suggesting the specification calls for frequent attention to fluid level in the hydraulic brake system.
