Same Argon

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Same Argon power steering fluid capacity is 41 liters. Service intervals include checking every 50 hours and changing every 1200 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 Same Argon 50 VDT (TOP), Argon 60 VDT (TOP), and Argon 70 VDT (TOP) all share an identical 41-liter capacity for the combined transaxle, hydraulic system, and power steering circuit.
  • A 41-liter figure for a shared transaxle and hydraulic system is characteristic of larger agricultural machinery, where a single reservoir serves multiple interconnected functions rather than isolated circuits.
  • The check interval is set at every 50 hours of operation under normal use conditions, which in hour-based service schedules corresponds to a relatively frequent monitoring cycle.
  • The fluid change interval is specified at 1,200 hours under normal use conditions, placing a considerable number of operating hours between full drain-and-fill services.
  • The ratio between the 50-hour check interval and the 1,200-hour change interval means the fluid level and condition are monitored approximately 24 times before a full change is due.
  • Across all three configurations covered by the 2000-2003 model years, the capacity, check interval, and change interval are uniform, indicating no variation in the power steering and hydraulic specifications between the 50, 60, and 70 VDT (TOP) variants.
