Additional Notes

  • The Fiat 1300/1500(S)/1600S, 115/116/118 range spans brake fluid capacities from 0.27 liter up to 0.37 liter across its variants, reflecting differences in hydraulic brake system volume between body styles and engine configurations.
  • The 1300 (116) and 1500 (115), both covering 1961-1967, share an identical hydraulic brake system capacity of 0.27 liter under normal use conditions, placing them at the lower end of the capacity range within the lineup.
  • The 1500 Coupe/Cabriolet (118H/K), produced 1963-1966, carries the highest brake fluid capacity in the group at 0.37 liter, which is notably larger than the 0.27 liter figure seen in the sedan variants and suggests a greater total hydraulic circuit volume.
  • The 1500S Cabriolet (118S), covering 1959-1963, and the 1600S Coupe/Cabriolet (118SA/SB), covering 1963-1966, both share a capacity of 0.32 liter, positioning them between the 0.27 liter sedans and the 0.37 liter 1500 Coupe/Cabriolet.
  • The check interval for the 1300 (116) and 1500 (115) hydraulic brake systems under normal use is set at 10,000 km, which is twice the interval specified for the coupe and cabriolet variants in the same family.
  • The 1500 Coupe/Cabriolet (118H/K), the 1500S Cabriolet (118S), and the 1600S Coupe/Cabriolet (118SA/SB) all carry a 5,000 km check interval under normal use, a more frequent schedule than the 10,000 km interval assigned to the sedan configurations.
  • The Fiat 1500S Cabriolet (118S) is the earliest variant in the dataset, with a production window starting in 1959, and already specifies a 0.32 liter brake fluid capacity with a 5,000 km check interval under normal use conditions.
