Renault 100
Power steering fluid capacity & service interval
Renault 100 uses power steering fluid with a capacity of 0,3 liter. Service intervals require a check every 200 hours. The data covers 3 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes
- The Renault 100 power steering system across all three engine configurations — the 351 M, 421 M, and 461 M — uses a steering box arrangement rather than a rack-and-pinion setup, which is a recirculating ball or worm-and-sector mechanism that typically holds smaller fluid volumes than rack-based systems.
- A 0.3 liter capacity is consistent with a steering box design, where fluid is contained within a self-enclosed housing rather than circulated through an external reservoir and rack assembly.
- The 351 M, covering model years 1977-1982, shares the same 0.3 liter steering box capacity and 200-hour check interval as the other configurations, indicating no variation in the power steering specification for that engine type.
- The 421 M, spanning 1977-1985, carries an identical 0.3 liter capacity and 200-hour check interval, placing it in alignment with the broader pattern seen across the model range for power steering service.
- The 461 M, covering 1977-1987, also holds 0.3 liters and follows the same 200-hour check interval, making the steering box specification uniform across all three engine types within the Renault 100 lineup.
- A 200-hour check interval is a time-in-operation measure rather than a distance-based one, which is common in agricultural or industrial machinery where engine hours are tracked instead of kilometers or miles traveled.
- All three rows are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the 200-hour check interval applies to standard operating environments without adjustment for severe or demanding service conditions.
