IMT All models

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

IMT All models use power steering fluid with a capacity range of 0,69 to 1 liter. Service intervals include checking every 1 to 4 months or 50 to 200 hours, and changing every 400 to 800 hours or 8 months. The data covers 15 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Across the IMT 539, 540, 542, 542 De Luxe, 545, 545 De Luxe, 549, and 549 De Luxe models (1983-1996), the steering box capacity is uniformly 0.95 liter, with a check interval of every 4 months or 200 hours and a fluid change interval of 800 hours under normal use conditions.
  • The IMT 560, 565, 567, and 569 series (1986-1996) each carry two separate power steering fluid entries: one for the power steering pump circuit at 1 liter and one for the steering box at 0.7 liter, reflecting a hydraulically assisted steering arrangement with two distinct fluid reservoirs.
  • The steering box capacity on the 560, 565, 567, and 569 series is 0.7 liter, which is lower than the 0.95 liter figure specified for the 539 through 549 series, indicating a physically smaller or differently designed steering box unit in the later models.
  • The power steering pump circuit on the 560, 565, 567, and 569 series requires a check every 1 month or 50 hours, a notably more frequent interval than the 4-month or 200-hour check schedule applied to the steering boxes across all listed models.
  • The change interval for the power steering pump circuit on the 560, 565, 567, and 569 series is set at 600 hours, while the corresponding steering boxes on the same models are changed at 800 hours, meaning the two fluid systems on a single tractor follow different service schedules.
  • The IMT 577 and 577 DV (1983-1996) power steering capacity of 0.85 liter falls between the 0.7 liter figure of the 560-569 series and the 1 liter figure of those same models' pump circuits, reflecting a distinct pump or reservoir size on the 577 platform.
  • The 577 and 577 DV power steering change interval is specified as 400 hours or 8 months, whichever comes first under normal use conditions. The dual-unit interval, combining an hour-based and a calendar-based threshold, differs from the hour-only change intervals listed for all other models in the specifications.
  • The steering box on the 577 and 577 DV holds 0.69 liter, the smallest steering box capacity among all models listed, and retains the standard 4-month or 200-hour check schedule alongside an 800-hour change interval.
  • All power steering pump circuit entries across the 560-569 and 577 series share the same 1-month or 50-hour check frequency, indicating a consistent maintenance philosophy for hydraulic assist circuits regardless of model variant or trim level within those groups.
