Additional Notes
- Both the 1.5 and 1.8 engine variants of the Shanghai Maple Automobile Hifeng share an identical brake fluid capacity of 0.75 liter, indicating a hydraulic brake system of equivalent reservoir volume across the two configurations.
- A 0.75 liter capacity is a relatively modest figure, consistent with the compact reservoir volumes typical of passenger car hydraulic brake systems where the fluid serves both the master cylinder and the connected circuit.
- The service interval for brake fluid is set at 24 months under normal use conditions for both the 1.5 and 1.8 variants, meaning the change schedule is time-based rather than mileage-based.
- A 24-month brake fluid change interval under normal use 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 specifications apply to the hydraulic brake system specifically, distinguishing the fluid and interval from any other braking-related components that may use separate service schedules.
