Bombardier DS

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Bombardier DS uses brake fluid with a capacity range of min to max. Service intervals include 4000 km, 6000 km, 24 months, or 200 hours. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
DS 250 (2006-2006)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 4000 km/ 24 months/ 200 hours
DS 650 (Baja) (2000-2006)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 6000 km/ 24 months/ 200 hours

Additional Notes

  • The Bombardier DS 250 brake fluid level is maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, which is a standard fill range indicator rather than a fixed volume, meaning the system is topped to a safe operating band rather than a precise measured quantity.
  • The DS 250 calls for a brake fluid change at 4000 km, 24 months, or 200 hours under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The DS 650 and DS 650 Baja share a longer brake fluid change interval of 6000 km, 24 months, or 200 hours under normal use conditions, compared to the 4000 km distance threshold specified for the DS 250.
  • Both configurations share the same 24-month and 200-hour change thresholds, while the distance-based interval differs by 2000 km between the two engine variants.
  • The fill specification of between minimum and maximum applies to both the DS 250 and the DS 650 series, indicating a hydraulic brake system design where fluid level is monitored visually against reservoir markings rather than by a fixed volume measurement.
