Additional Notes
- The Hyundai Pony 1.2 produced from 1980-1984 carries a brake fluid capacity of 0.3 liter in the hydraulic brake system, which represents a service fill volume for the reservoir and lines rather than a full system overhaul quantity.
- From 1984 onward, the Pony 1.2 specification shows a reduced brake fluid capacity of 0.26 liter, a measurable decrease compared to the 0.3 liter figure associated with the earlier 1980-1984 variant of the same engine.
- The 1984-1985 Pony 1.4 shares the 0.26 liter brake fluid capacity with the revised 1984-1985 Pony 1.2, indicating that both engine variants produced in that period align on hydraulic brake system volume.
- All three configurations carry a change interval of 40,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, meaning the interval is tied to whichever threshold is reached first, whether mileage or time.
- The 12-month time-based component of the change interval reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time and can lower the fluid's boiling point regardless of distance driven.
- The overlap year of 1984 sees two distinct Pony 1.2 specifications in use simultaneously, with the earlier variant at 0.3 liter and the later at 0.26 liter, making the production date within that year a relevant factor when referencing the correct capacity figure.
