How much steering fluid?

Post by Milosz_480 » Sat May 28, 2005 12:11 am

I'd like to change steering fluid but I have no clue what's capacity of the system. Even owner manual doesn't say anything about it. How much do I have to buy?

About 5euros.

You just need to use ATF (automatic transmission fluid)

The capacity is about 200ml

Not much, but to flush the system, you will need about 1.5L of Dextron II ATF.
