Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (EU)

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (EU) uses brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals include checks at 15000 km or 12 months and changes at 30000 km or 24 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
Lancer Evolution X GSR, CZ4A (2007-2016)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Check 15000 km/ 12 months
  • Change 30000 km/ 24 months
Lancer Evolution X MR, CZ4A (2007-2016)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Check 15000 km/ 12 months
  • Change 30000 km/ 24 months
Lancer Evolution VI, CP9A (1999-2001)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
Lancer Evolution V, CP9A (1998-1999)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
Lancer Evolution IV, CN9A (1996-1998)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV (CN9A), V, and VI (CP9A) share a combined hydraulic brake and clutch system, meaning a single fluid reservoir serves both functions simultaneously.
  • For the Evolution IV, V, and VI generations covering 1996-2001, the specifications state only that fluid level should be maintained between the minimum and maximum marks, with no check or change interval defined.
  • The Evolution X GSR and MR variants, both on the CZ4A platform covering 2007-2016, carry separate hydraulic brake system specifications that include explicit service intervals absent from earlier generations.
  • On the CZ4A-based Evolution X GSR and MR, the brake fluid check interval is set at 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first under normal use conditions.
  • The change interval for brake fluid on both Evolution X GSR and MR models is 30,000 km or 24 months under normal use, which is double the check interval in both distance and time.
  • The Evolution X GSR and MR specifications list the hydraulic brake system separately from any clutch system, reflecting a structural difference from the shared brake/clutch reservoir arrangement noted in the CP9A and CN9A generations.
  • Across all five configurations, the fluid level specification is expressed as a range between minimum and maximum marks rather than a fixed volume, indicating a top-up reference rather than a measured service fill quantity.
