Lifan 720

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Lifan 720 brake fluid capacity is 0,7 to 0,75 liter. Service intervals include checks at 3000 km/3 months, 5000 km/6 months, and 10000 km/9 months, with a change interval of 40000 km/24 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Lifan 720 hydraulic brake/clutch system holds between 0.7 and 0.75 liter of brake fluid, and the range reflects normal fill tolerance rather than a distinction between a service fill and a full overhaul quantity.
  • Both the 1.5-liter LF7158 and the 1.8-liter LF7185 engines share an identical capacity specification of 0.7-0.75 liter for the hydraulic brake/clutch system, indicating no variation in reservoir size between the two engine configurations.
  • Under normal use conditions, the brake/clutch fluid on both engine variants is scheduled for inspection every 5,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use is set at 40,000 km or 24 months. A 24-month replacement cycle is a common industry benchmark tied to brake fluid's tendency to absorb moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point.
  • A first check only interval is specified at 3,000 km or 3 months, applying to both the LF7158 and LF7185 variants. A shorter initial inspection interval of this kind is typically associated with new vehicle break-in periods, where system components are still seating and fluid levels may shift.
  • A second check only interval is listed separately at 10,000 km or 9 months, again shared across both engine variants. The progression from 3,000 km to 10,000 km to the standard 5,000 km recurring cycle reflects a structured early-life monitoring schedule before the normal routine takes over.
