Additional Notes
- The Opel Omega A (V87) brake fluid capacity of 0.46 liter applies across all four listed configurations, covering the 2.6i, 3.0i 24V (147 kW), 3000 24V (150 kW), and Evolution 500 variants from 1989-1993.
- A 0.46 liter figure represents the total hydraulic brake system fill volume, which accounts for the master cylinder reservoir and the fluid distributed throughout the brake lines to each wheel circuit.
- All four configurations specify a 12-month change interval under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid in the hydraulic brake system is due for replacement once per calendar year regardless of mileage accumulated.
- The 12-month interval for brake fluid reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time and lowers the boiling point of the fluid within the hydraulic system.
- The Omega A 3000 24V (150 kW) carries the earliest start year among the listed variants, with specifications beginning in 1989, while the 2.6i and 3.0i 24V (147 kW) configurations both begin in 1990.
- The Omega Evolution 500 shares the same 0.46 liter hydraulic brake system capacity and 12-month change interval as the standard production variants, with a model year range of 1991-1993.
- The two six-cylinder variants, the 3.0i 24V at 147 kW and the 3000 24V at 150 kW, differ in power output by 3 kW yet share an identical brake fluid capacity and service interval, indicating no differentiation in hydraulic system volume between the two engine tunes.
