MG MG3
Brake fluid capacity & service interval
MG MG3 uses brake fluid with a capacity range of 0,65 to 0,73 liters. The service interval for the fluid is 24 months. The data covers 4 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes
- The MG MG3 brake fluid system is noted as a hydraulic brake/clutch system across all configurations, meaning a single fluid reservoir serves both the braking and clutch actuation circuits.
- The 1.3 and 1.5 variants from 2013-2015 share a capacity range of 0.65-0.7 liter, expressed as a range rather than a fixed value, which reflects acceptable fill variation within the hydraulic system.
- From 2016 onward, the 1.5 engine carries a fixed capacity of 0.73 liter, a slight increase over the 0.65-0.7 liter range specified for the earlier 2013-2015 models.
- The 1.5 Euro 6 variant covering 2018-2024 retains the same 0.73 liter capacity as the 2016-2017 1.5, indicating no change in reservoir volume between those two generations.
- A 24-month change interval applies uniformly across all MG3 configurations and years listed, meaning brake fluid renewal is time-based rather than mileage-based for all variants.
- The consistent 24-month interval across the 1.3 and all 1.5 variants reflects standard practice for glycol-based brake fluids, which absorb moisture over time and require periodic replacement regardless of vehicle use.
