Hyundai i10, AC3 (EU)

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Hyundai i10, AC3 (EU) models require brake fluid with a capacity of 0,7 to 0,8 liters. Service intervals consist of checks every 15000 km or 12 months and fluid changes every 30000 km. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai i10 AC3 (EU) brake fluid capacity is listed as a range of 0.7–0.8 liters across all six engine configurations. A range rather than a fixed value reflects normal variation in reservoir fill level between the minimum and maximum marks on the brake fluid reservoir.
  • The shared capacity figure of 0.7–0.8 liters applies uniformly to the naturally aspirated 1.0 MPi, the turbocharged 1.0 T-GDI, and the 1.2 MPi variants, indicating that differences in engine displacement and forced induction do not affect the brake fluid system volume in this platform.
  • All configurations carry a check interval of every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first under normal use conditions. The dual-trigger structure means time elapsed can prompt a check even when mileage accumulation is low.
  • The change interval is set at 30,000 km for all listed variants under normal use conditions. At that interval, the 0.7–0.8 liter capacity represents the approximate volume of fluid that would be displaced during a full system flush.
  • The check interval of 15,000 km falls at exactly half the 30,000 km change interval. This means one intermediate inspection occurs between each scheduled fluid replacement, allowing for condition monitoring without a full fluid exchange at every service visit.
  • The 1.0 MPi (46 kW) and 1.0 T-GDI (66 kW) variants share the same brake fluid specifications as their respective predecessors, the 46 kW replacing the 49 kW and the 66 kW replacing the 74 kW, with no change to capacity, check interval, or change interval between the two power output generations.
  • All six rows are designated for the hydraulic brake/clutch system, meaning the single fluid reservoir serves both the braking circuit and the hydraulic clutch actuation circuit where applicable, which is a common arrangement in vehicles using a hydraulically operated manual transmission clutch.
