Leyland Leyland Synchro

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Leyland Synchro power steering fluid capacity is 0,5 liter. Service intervals include checking every 50 hours and changing every 1200 hours. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Leyland Synchro power steering system holds a capacity of 0.5 liter across all listed configurations, which is a relatively modest fill volume consistent with compact hydraulic steering reservoirs found on smaller agricultural or utility vehicles of the era.
  • The 502, 602, 604, 702, 704, 802, and 804 variants spanning 1980-1982 all share an identical 0.5 liter capacity, indicating a uniform power steering unit was fitted across the entire model range during those years.
  • A check interval of 50 hours is specified under normal use conditions for all configurations, reflecting the hour-based service scheduling typical of tractors and working machinery rather than the distance-based intervals used in road vehicles.
  • The fluid change interval is set at 1200 hours under normal use conditions, meaning the power steering fluid is expected to remain in service through a substantial period of operational hours before a full drain and refill is required.
  • The ratio between the 50-hour check interval and the 1200-hour change interval means the fluid level and condition would be inspected approximately 24 times before a full change is due, reflecting a maintenance approach that prioritizes monitoring over frequent replacement.
  • All four row entries carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 50-hour check and 1200-hour change intervals apply to standard operating environments without any separate severe-duty schedule listed for the power steering system.
