Samsung QM5, H45

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Samsung QM5 and H45 models utilize brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals include checks at 30000 km or 12 months and changes at 120000 km or 48 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Samsung QM5 H45 brake fluid specification applies to the shared hydraulic brake and clutch system, meaning a single reservoir serves both functions across all listed configurations.
  • Rather than a fixed volume, the fill level for all six QM5 H45 configurations is defined as between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, which is standard practice for brake fluid servicing where topping up rather than full replacement governs routine maintenance.
  • The check interval of every 30,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applies uniformly across all QM5 H45 variants spanning the 2008-2015 model years, regardless of engine type or drivetrain.
  • The change interval of 120,000 km or 48 months applies under normal use conditions across all listed variants, including the 2.0 16V petrol, the 2.5 16V petrol in both 4x2 and 4x4 forms, and the 2.0 dCi diesel in 110 kW and 127 kW outputs with and without AWD.
  • The 48-month time-based change interval reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time and lowers its boiling point regardless of distance driven.
  • The AWD variants, including the 2.0 dCi 110 kW AWD and the 2.0 dCi 127 kW AWD, share identical brake fluid service intervals with their two-wheel-drive counterparts, indicating no additional hydraulic service demand is attributed to the all-wheel-drive system in these specifications.
  • The 2.5 16V engine appears in two distinct drivetrain configurations, 4x2 and 4x4, both carrying the same brake fluid check and change schedule, which points to a consistent hydraulic system design across the QM5 H45 petrol range.
