Honda CTX

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Honda CTX uses brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals include checks at 12000 km or 12 months, and changes at 24 months or 20000 km/24 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Brake fluid capacity across all Honda CTX configurations is expressed as a level range rather than a fixed volume, meaning the reservoir must be kept between the minimum and maximum marks rather than filled to a precise measured quantity.
  • The CTX 1300 A (SC74) covers both the hydraulic brake and clutch system under a single brake fluid specification, reflecting the use of a shared hydraulic fluid circuit for both functions on that model.
  • The CTX 1300 A (SC74) carries a two-part service requirement: a level check at 12,000 km or 12 months, and a full fluid change at 24 months, making the check interval half the length of the replacement interval.
  • The CTX 200 specifies only a 24-month change interval with no listed distance-based trigger, distinguishing the service schedule from the kilometer-linked intervals seen on the larger displacement models.
  • Both the CTX 700 A and CTX 700 D (RC69) share identical brake fluid change intervals of 20,000 km or 24 months, indicating that the A (automatic) and D (dual clutch transmission) variants follow the same hydraulic brake service schedule despite their differing transmission configurations.
  • The 24-month change interval appears across all four CTX configurations, establishing time as a consistent service trigger regardless of mileage accumulation, which reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid and its tendency to absorb moisture over time even when a vehicle sees limited use.
  • The CTX 700 A and CTX 700 D are the only configurations with a distance-based change trigger, set at 20,000 km, while the CTX 1300 A uses a shorter 12,000 km threshold exclusively for its periodic level check rather than for a full fluid change.
