Eicher 3000

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Eicher 3000 uses power steering fluid with a capacity of 3 liters. Service intervals include checking every 200 hours and changing every 12 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Eicher 3000 series power steering system holds 3 liters of fluid across both the 3085 (3655) and 3085 A (3656) configurations, covering the 1979-1983 model years.
  • A 3-liter capacity in a power steering reservoir is relatively modest, consistent with the compact hydraulic circuits found in agricultural and light commercial vehicles of that era.
  • The check interval is set at 200 hours of operation under normal use conditions, a time-based measure common in machinery that logs hours rather than distance.
  • The change interval is defined as 12 months under normal use, meaning fluid replacement is tied to calendar time rather than operational hours alone.
  • Both the 3085 (3655) and 3085 A (3656) variants share identical capacity and service interval figures, with no differentiation in power steering fluid specifications between the two configurations across the 1979-1983 period.
