JAC M3 / Refine

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

JAC M3 / Refine uses brake fluid with a capacity of 0,85 liter. Service intervals include checks at 3000 km/ 3 months or 10000 km/ 8 months and changes at 40000 km/ 32 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The JAC M3 / Refine hydraulic brake system holds 0.85 liter across both the 1.6 and 2.0 engine variants, indicating a shared brake circuit volume with no capacity difference between the two engine configurations.
  • A 0.85 liter capacity for a hydraulic brake system is a relatively modest fill volume, consistent with a compact passenger car master cylinder reservoir and circuit.
  • Under normal use conditions, the brake fluid check interval is set at 10,000 km or 8 months, whichever comes first, for both the 1.6 and 2.0 variants.
  • The change interval under normal use is 40,000 km or 32 months, applying equally to both engine variants, which reflects a time-and-distance dual-trigger replacement schedule.
  • An initial service condition is specified separately for both the 1.6 and 2.0 variants, with a check interval of 3,000 km or 3 months rather than the standard 10,000 km or 8 months, indicating a shorter early-life inspection window for the brake fluid.
  • No fluid change interval is listed under the initial service condition for either variant, meaning the 3,000 km or 3-month entry covers inspection only, not replacement.
  • The identical capacity, check, and change figures across the 1.6 and 2.0 engine variants suggest the brake hydraulic system architecture is uniform regardless of engine displacement in the M3 / Refine lineup from 2013 onward.
