Lotus Evora

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Lotus Evora brake fluid capacity is 450 CM3. Service intervals include a 24 month change, a 15000 km or 12 month check, and a 30000 km or 24 month change. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Lotus Evora brake fluid capacity is 450 CM3 across all five configurations spanning the 2009-2021 model range, covering the base Evora, Evora S, Evora 400, Evora Sport 410, and Evora GT 430.
  • A 450 CM3 capacity figure for a hydraulic brake system represents the total fluid volume held within the system, including the master cylinder reservoir, brake lines, and calipers, rather than a partial service top-up quantity.
  • The Evora and Evora S (2009-2015) share an identical service structure under normal use conditions, specifying only a fluid change interval of 24 months with no intermediate check interval listed.
  • The Evora 400 (2015-2021), Evora Sport 410 (2016-2021), and Evora GT 430 (2017-2021) all carry a two-stage service schedule under normal use, separating a fluid check at 15,000 km or 12 months from a full fluid change at 30,000 km or 24 months.
  • The introduction of a dedicated check interval at 15,000 km or 12 months in the later configurations means the hydraulic brake system is assessed at the midpoint between full change intervals, rather than only at the point of replacement.
  • The change interval of 30,000 km or 24 months in the Evora 400, Evora Sport 410, and Evora GT 430 mirrors the time-based interval of 24 months used in the earlier Evora and Evora S, while adding a distance-based threshold of 30,000 km alongside it.
  • Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time, which is why time-based change intervals expressed in months are standard practice regardless of distance traveled.
