Additional Notes
- The Wartburg 311's hydraulic brake system holds a capacity of 0.3 liter across all listed variants, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume the system requires for a proper service fill.
- The 311 Standard and 311 Sport-Coupé share the same 0.3 liter brake fluid capacity for their respective 1956-1961 production spans, indicating no differentiation between the standard and sport body configurations in terms of brake system volume.
- The 311 produced from 1962-1965 carries the same 0.3 liter brake fluid capacity as the earlier variants, showing consistency in hydraulic brake system volume across the full 1956-1965 model range covered by the specifications.
- All three listed configurations specify normal use conditions, meaning the 0.3 liter capacity figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or first-change scenarios.
