Additional Notes
- The Maserati Indy AM 116 brake fluid capacity is listed as a range of 2 to 2.5 liters across both the 4200 and 4700 engine variants, which is notably high for a brake fluid system and reflects the hydraulic demands of a full brake circuit in a grand touring vehicle of that era.
- The capacity range rather than a fixed value suggests variation depending on the exact state of the system during a service fill, as opposed to a dry or overhaul fill where a precise volume would typically be specified.
- Both the Indy 4200 (AM116) covering 1969-1974 and the Indy 4700 (AM116/47) covering 1970-1974 share identical service intervals, with a check interval of 5,000 km and a change interval of 20,000 km under normal use conditions.
- The 5,000 km check interval for brake fluid indicates a relatively frequent inspection schedule, consistent with the monitoring practices common to performance vehicles of the late 1960s and early 1970s, where fluid condition and level were considered critical to hydraulic system integrity.
- The 20,000 km change interval applies to the hydraulic brake system specifically, as noted in the row specifications, distinguishing the service scope from any other fluid circuits on the vehicle.
- The Indy 4700 variant, introduced in 1970, carries the same brake fluid capacity and service interval specifications as the earlier 4200, indicating no change in hydraulic system servicing requirements despite the larger displacement engine.
