The brake fluid in a Brilliance BS4 should be changed every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture over time which can reduce its effectiveness. Regular brake fluid changes are important for maintaining reliable braking performance.

The oil in a Brilliance BS4 should be changed every 5,000 kilometers or 3 months, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes are important for maintaining engine performance and longevity. It is also recommended to check the oil level regularly and top off as needed.

The recommended battery type for a Brilliance BS4 is a 12-volt, maintenance-free battery. It is important to use the recommended battery type to ensure proper starting and charging performance. Regular battery inspections and maintenance are also recommended to ensure optimal battery life.

The recommended coolant for a Brilliance BS4 is a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol and distilled water. It is important to use the recommended coolant type and mix to ensure proper engine cooling and prevent corrosion. The coolant level should be checked regularly and topped off as needed.

The timing belt in a Brilliance BS4 should be replaced every 100,000 kilometers. The timing belt is an important component of the engine that controls the timing of the valves and pistons. Regular timing belt replacement is important for preventing engine damage and maintaining reliable engine performance.

The recommended spark plug gap for a Brilliance BS4 is 0.9-1.1 millimeters. Proper spark plug gap is important for reliable engine performance and fuel efficiency. It is recommended to check and adjust the spark plug gap during regular maintenance intervals.

The recommended tire pressure for the Brilliance BS4 is 32 PSI for the front tires and 30 PSI for the rear tires. Proper tire pressure is important for maintaining fuel efficiency, tire wear, and overall safety. It is recommended to check tire pressure regularly and adjust as needed.

The towing capacity of a Brilliance BS4 is 1,500 pounds. It is important to not exceed the recommended towing capacity to avoid damage to the vehicle and ensure safe towing. It is also recommended to use a trailer with brakes when towing heavy loads.
