Yanmar FE

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Yanmar FE uses power steering fluid with a capacity of 18 liters. Service intervals include checking at 50 hours and changing at 300 hours. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
  • FE-240H (2000-2010)
  • Transaxle/hydraulic system
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 18 liter
  • Check 50 hours
  • Change 300 hours
  • FE-280H (2000-2010)
  • Transaxle/hydraulic system
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 18 liter
  • Check 50 hours
  • Change 300 hours

Additional Notes

  • Both the FE-240H and FE-280H share a combined transaxle, hydraulic system, and power steering fluid capacity of 18 liters, which reflects a unified reservoir serving all three functions rather than separate dedicated power steering fluid storage.
  • The Yanmar FE-240H and FE-280H specify a fluid check interval of every 50 hours under normal use conditions, a relatively short inspection cycle consistent with the shared nature of the hydraulic circuit across multiple vehicle systems.
  • A change interval of 300 hours applies to both configurations under normal use, meaning the fluid serves approximately six times the duration between checks before a full replacement is due.
  • The identical capacity and interval figures across the FE-240H and FE-280H indicate no variation in power steering fluid specifications between the two models despite their differing designations, covering the full 2000-2010 span for each.
