Additional Notes
- The Skoda 440 Spartak (engine code 970, 1955-1959), the 445 (engine code 985, 1957-1959), and the 450 (engine code 984, 1957-1959) all share an identical brake fluid capacity of 0.6 liter for their respective hydraulic brake systems.
- A capacity figure of 0.6 liter is consistent with the modest hydraulic circuit volumes typical of compact passenger cars from the mid-1950s, reflecting a relatively simple single-circuit brake system architecture common to that era.
- All three variants carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 0.6 liter capacity value applies to standard operating circumstances rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only scenario.
- The 440 Spartak specification covers the 1955-1959 period, while both the 445 and 450 specifications begin in 1957, indicating a two-year difference in the starting point of the documented production range across the model family.
- The hydraulic brake system note present across all three rows confirms that the 0.6 liter figure refers specifically to the fluid volume within the hydraulic actuation circuit, as opposed to any mechanical or pneumatic braking component.
