Renault 20/30 (EU)
Brake fluid capacity & service interval
Renault 20/30 (EU) models utilize brake fluid with a capacity range of 0.5 to 1.0 liters. The data covers 6 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.
| Type | Specifications |
|---|---|
| 20 LS/TS, R1277 (1980-1984) |
|
| 20 TX, R1279 (1980-1984) |
|
| 30 TX, R1278 (1979-1984) |
|
| 20 LS/TS, R1272 (1977-1980) |
|
| 20 L/TL/GTL, R1271 (1975-1981) |
|
| 30 TS, R1275 (1975-1981) |

Additional Notes
- Brake fluid capacity across all Renault 20/30 configurations is expressed as a reservoir level range rather than a fixed volume, meaning the specification defines acceptable fluid level boundaries within the reservoir rather than a precise fill quantity.
- The "between min and max" specification applies under normal use conditions for every listed configuration, from the 20 L/TL/GTL through to the 30 TX, indicating that the reservoir level standard is consistent across the entire model range regardless of trim or engine variant.
- The Renault 20 series spans two distinct internal code generations for the LS/TS variants: the R1272 covering 1977-1980 and the R1277 covering 1980-1984, both sharing the same reservoir-level brake fluid specification despite representing different mechanical generations.
- The Renault 30 TS (R1275) and 30 TX (R1278) carry the same brake fluid level specification as the 20-series variants, reflecting a shared hydraulic brake system servicing standard across both the four-cylinder 20 and the V6-engined 30 lines.
- The 20 TX (R1279) and 20 LS/TS (R1277) share an overlapping production window of 1980-1984, both governed by the same normal-use, min-to-max reservoir level standard for the hydraulic brake system.
- A reservoir-level specification of this type is characteristic of a sealed hydraulic system where fluid consumption between service intervals is expected to be minimal, and significant deviation below the minimum mark typically signals a leak or excessive brake pad wear rather than routine consumption.
