Microcar M.Pro
Brake fluid capacity & service interval
Microcar M.Pro uses brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals include 50000 km/36 months and 30000 km/36 months. The data covers 2 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.
| Type | Specifications |
|---|---|
| M.Pro 440 DCi (2009- ) |
|
| M.Pro 505 Progress (2009- ) |

Additional Notes
- The Microcar M.Pro brake fluid level specification is expressed as a range rather than a fixed volume, with the accepted fill sitting between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir. This approach is standard for hydraulic brake systems, where the fluid level naturally drops slightly as brake pads wear down over time.
- The M.Pro 440 DCi carries a brake fluid change interval of 50,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
- The M.Pro 505 Progress shares the same 36-month time-based interval but carries a notably shorter distance-based threshold of 30,000 km under normal use conditions, compared to the 50,000 km specified for the 440 DCi.
- Both configurations share an identical time limit of 36 months for brake fluid renewal, meaning the calendar-based interval does not differ between the two variants despite the difference in mileage thresholds.
- Both rows are designated for hydraulic brake systems, which rely on fluid pressure to transfer braking force. Brake fluid in such systems is hygroscopic, meaning moisture absorption over time lowers its boiling point, which is the primary reason time-based change intervals exist alongside distance-based ones.
