Additional Notes
- The Volvo 300 (EU) brake fluid capacity is 0.4 liter across all listed configurations, which is a figure associated with the hydraulic brake system reservoir fill rather than a full system overhaul volume.
- The 340 1.4 and 340 1.7 share an identical service interval of 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would trigger a fluid change.
- The 48-month interval reflects the time-based dimension of brake fluid degradation, as the fluid absorbs moisture over time regardless of distance driven, lowering its boiling point.
- The 340 Diesel, covering model years 1984-1991, carries the same 0.4 liter capacity and 40,000 km / 48-month change interval as the petrol variants, despite the differing engine type.
- The 360 2.0, spanning 1982-1990, also specifies 0.4 liter and the same 40,000 km / 48-month interval under normal use, placing all four configurations on a uniform service schedule.
- All four configurations are noted specifically as hydraulic brake systems, which is the context in which the 0.4 liter capacity figure applies.
- The normal use condition attached to each row means the stated intervals are not adjusted for more demanding operating environments, such as frequent heavy braking or mountainous driving.
