Simca Matra Bagheera

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Simca Matra Bagheera brake fluid capacity is 0,8 liter. Service intervals include a check at 5000 km and a change at 20000 km or 12 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Simca Matra Bagheera hydraulic brake system holds 0.8 liter of brake fluid across all listed variants, a modest capacity consistent with the compact brake circuit architecture typical of lightweight sports cars from the 1970s.
  • A fluid level check interval of every 5,000 km applies to all four variants under normal use conditions, reflecting a relatively frequent inspection cadence relative to the change interval.
  • The change interval is set at 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, for all listed variants. The dual threshold acknowledges that brake fluid absorbs moisture over time regardless of distance driven, making the calendar limit equally relevant to low-mileage vehicles.
  • The Bagheera (1973-1978) and Bagheera (1978-1980) share identical brake fluid specifications, with the 0.8 liter capacity and the 5,000 km check and 20,000 km/12-month change intervals remaining unchanged across the production span covered by both entries.
  • The Bagheera S (1976-1980) and Bagheera X (1978-1980), despite representing distinct trim levels, carry the same 0.8 liter capacity and service intervals as the base Bagheera variants, indicating no differentiation in brake system fluid requirements across the model hierarchy.
