Aston Martin Rapide

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Aston Martin Rapide uses power steering fluid with a capacity of 1,3 liters. Service intervals occur every 16000 km or 12 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Aston Martin Rapide power steering system holds 1.3 liters of fluid across all listed configurations, from the original Rapide (2010-2013) through to the Rapide S Performance Pack (2017-2019).
  • A 1.3-liter capacity is relatively modest for a power steering reservoir, which is consistent with a hydraulic rack-and-pinion or recirculating ball system where the reservoir itself stores only the working fluid volume, not a full circuit fill.
  • The service interval for all four configurations is a fluid check at 16,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applied under normal use conditions.
  • The 16,000 km / 12-month check interval is a condition-monitoring interval rather than a replacement interval, meaning the fluid level and condition are assessed rather than automatically exchanged at each service visit.
  • The Rapide S (2013-2014) and Rapide S (2014-2019) share identical capacity and interval specifications, indicating no change to the power steering system between those two production periods despite the model year split.
  • The Rapide S Performance Pack, introduced from 2017, carries the same 1.3-liter capacity and 16,000 km / 12-month check schedule as the standard Rapide S, suggesting the performance-oriented trim level did not alter the power steering hardware or its fluid requirements.
