SsangYong Korando, C300

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

SsangYong Korando and C300 models require brake fluid with a capacity range of 0.5 to 1.0 liters. Service intervals include changing the fluid every 12 or 24 months. The data covers 8 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Across all SsangYong Korando C300 configurations from 2019, the brake fluid capacity specification is expressed as "between min and max" rather than a fixed volume, meaning the reservoir level is the reference point rather than a measured fill quantity.
  • The hydraulic system noted in the specifications serves a combined brake and clutch function, meaning a single fluid reservoir supplies both systems simultaneously.
  • Under normal use conditions, the brake fluid change interval for the 1.5 T-GDi is 24 months, regardless of whether the drivetrain is front-wheel drive or 4WD.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 1.5 T-GDi variants carry a 12-month change interval, which is half the normal-use figure, reflecting the accelerated fluid degradation associated with more demanding operating conditions.
  • The 1.6 E-XDi variants, both standard and 4WD, follow the same interval structure as the 1.5 T-GDi, with 24 months under normal use and 12 months under severe use.
  • The 4WD designation across both the 1.5 T-GDi and 1.6 E-XDi engines produces no variation in brake fluid intervals or capacity specifications relative to the non-4WD equivalents.
  • The 12-month severe-use interval applies uniformly across all four configurations listed, indicating no engine- or drivetrain-specific differentiation in how severe operating conditions affect the recommended service frequency.
