Additional Notes

  • The Ford S-Max Mk I (EU) 2.0 TDCi Duratorq (85 kW) shares a single hydraulic circuit between the brake and clutch systems, meaning one fluid reservoir serves both functions simultaneously.
  • The fill level specification of "between min and max" defines a range rather than a fixed volume, which is standard for brake fluid reservoirs where the level naturally drops as brake pads wear and fluid absorbs into the caliper pistons.
  • A 24-month change interval applies under normal use conditions for the 2010-2011 model years, reflecting the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time and lowers its boiling point regardless of mileage accumulated.
