Microcar M.Go
Brake fluid capacity & service interval
Microcar M.Go uses brake fluid with a capacity range of 0.4 to 0.5 liters. Service intervals consist of 30000 km or 36 months and 50000 km or 36 months. The data covers 4 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes
- All four Microcar M.Go configurations listed share a hydraulic brake system, meaning brake fluid is pressurized to actuate the calipers or wheel cylinders rather than relying on a mechanical linkage.
- The fill level specification of "between min and max" applies to all four variants under normal use conditions, indicating that the reservoir should neither be topped to the brim nor allowed to drop below the lower marker.
- The M.Go 440 DCi carries a notably longer distance-based change interval of 50,000 km compared to the 30,000 km interval shared by the 492 DCi, 505 Progress, and Family 505 (15 kW) variants, all under normal use conditions.
- Despite the difference in distance intervals, all four configurations share an identical time-based change interval of 36 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would typically trigger a fluid change.
- The 36-month time limit reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time and lowers its boiling point regardless of mileage accumulated.
- The M.Go Family 505 is rated at 15 kW and shares the 30,000 km / 36-month interval with the 492 DCi and 505 Progress, grouping three of the four variants under the same service schedule.
