Honda S600 / S800

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Honda S600 / S800 requires brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals include checking every 8 hours and changing every 36000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
S800 (1966-1970)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Check 8 hours
  • Change 36000 km
S600 (1964-1966)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Check 8 hours
  • Change 36000 km

Additional Notes

  • Both the S600 (1964-1966) and S800 (1966-1970) share identical brake fluid service specifications across their respective production spans.
  • The brake fluid level specification of "between min and max" refers to maintaining fluid within the reservoir's marked range, which is standard practice for hydraulic brake systems to ensure consistent pedal pressure and braking performance.
  • A check interval of every 8 hours is notably short and reflects the inspection frequency expected under normal use conditions for these early Honda sports cars.
  • The change interval of 36,000 km under normal use conditions applies equally to the hydraulic brake systems of both the S600 and S800 variants.
