Daelim Daystar

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Daelim Daystar uses brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals occur every 16000 km or 24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
Daystar 250 FI, VL250 (2015- )
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 16000 km/ 24 months
Daystar 125 FI, VL125Z (2006- )
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 16000 km/ 24 months

Additional Notes

  • Both the Daystar 125 FI (VL125Z) and the Daystar 250 FI (VL250) use a hydraulic brake system, meaning brake fluid is contained within a closed reservoir rather than a mechanical linkage arrangement.
  • The specified fill level for both configurations is between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, rather than a fixed volume figure. A between-min-and-max specification is typical for hydraulic brake fluid service, where the correct level is verified visually against reservoir markings instead of measured by quantity.
  • The Daelim Daystar 125 FI carries a brake fluid change interval of 16,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The Daystar 250 FI shares the same 16,000 km or 24-month change interval under normal use conditions as the 125 FI variant, indicating no difference in brake fluid service timing between the two engine displacements.
  • The 24-month time-based interval exists because brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time. Even with low mileage, moisture absorption degrades the fluid's boiling point, which is why the interval applies regardless of whether the distance threshold has been reached.
