Microcar M-8

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Microcar M-8 brake fluid capacity ranges between min and max. Service intervals occur every 30000 km or 36 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
M-8, Lombardini LDW492 (2012- )
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 30000 km/ 36 months
M-8, Lombardini LDW502 (2012- )
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 30000 km/ 36 months

Additional Notes

  • The Microcar M-8 brake fluid level specification calls for a fill between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, which is a standard service-level fill rather than a measured volumetric capacity.
  • Both the Lombardini LDW492 and LDW502 engine variants share an identical brake fluid change interval of 30,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 36-month time-based interval reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time and lowers its boiling point regardless of distance driven.
  • The hydraulic brake system designation applies to both the LDW492 and LDW502 configurations, meaning the fluid services a pressure-based actuation circuit rather than a mechanical linkage.
