Lexus LS, XF40 (EU)

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Lexus LS, XF40 (EU) models utilize brake fluid with a capacity range defined by min and max values. Service intervals include checking at 10000 km or 6 months, and changing at 30000 km to 40000 km or 24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

  • Change 40000 km/ 24 months

Additional Notes

  • The LS 460 AWD produced from 2008-2012 carries a brake fluid check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months, alongside a separate change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months. The presence of both a check and a change interval in the same specification row reflects a two-stage maintenance schedule, where fluid condition is monitored periodically before a full replacement is due.
  • The 2012-2017 LS 460 AWD specification lists only a change interval of 30,000 km or 24 months, without a separate check interval entry. The change interval is shorter by 10,000 km compared to the 2008-2012 variant, while the 24-month time-based interval remains the same across both generations.
  • The 2008-2012 LS 460 AWD specification notes coverage of both the hydraulic brake system and ABS, whereas the 2012-2017 entry references only the hydraulic brake system. Both rows share the same fluid level target of between the minimum and maximum reservoir marks, which is the standard operating range for brake fluid reservoirs.
  • Brake fluid capacity for both configurations is expressed as a level range rather than a fixed volume in liters. A "between min and max" specification is typical for brake fluid, where the reservoir level is used as the service indicator rather than a measured fill quantity.
