MG MG-ZT

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

MG MG-ZT uses brake fluid with a capacity of 1 liter. Service intervals include checks at 25000 km or 12 months and fluid changes every 24 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The MG MG-ZT brake fluid system capacity is listed at 1 liter across all five configurations covered in the specifications, spanning the 1.8T 160, 120 CDTi, 135 CDTi, 160 V6-24V, and 190 V6-24V variants.
  • The 190 V6-24V (2001-2005) is the only configuration where the 1-liter capacity is explicitly designated as a dry fill figure, meaning the measurement reflects a fully drained and refilled system rather than a routine top-up quantity.
  • All five configurations share a check interval of 25,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The change interval across all listed configurations is set at 24 months under normal use, making the replacement schedule time-based rather than mileage-based.
  • The two diesel variants, the 120 CDTi and 135 CDTi, both introduced for the 2003-2005 period, carry identical brake fluid specifications to the petrol variants available across the broader 2001-2005 range.
  • The hydraulic system note applied to all rows indicates the brake fluid reservoir serves a combined brake and clutch circuit, meaning the single 1-liter capacity figure covers both systems together.
  • The V6-24V variants, both the 160 and 190, share the same 2001-2005 model year span and the same check and change intervals, with the only distinguishing specification detail being the dry fill designation on the 190.
