Additional Notes
- The 3.6-liter V8 quattro, covering 1989-1991, carries a hydraulic system capacity of 2.7 liters, which reflects the total fluid volume shared across power steering, brake booster, and leveling functions within a single integrated circuit.
- The 4.2-liter V8 quattro (206 kW), covering 1992-1994, lists two separate capacity figures: 3.5 liters for the combined hydraulic system serving power steering and leveling, and 2.4 liters specifically for the power steering subsystem alone.
- The distinction between the 3.5-liter and 2.4-liter figures on the 4.2-liter variant indicates that the larger value represents the full hydraulic circuit fill, while the smaller value corresponds to the isolated power steering reservoir or loop within that circuit.
- Compared to the 3.6-liter engine's 2.7-liter hydraulic system capacity, the 4.2-liter engine's integrated circuit holds 3.5 liters, a difference of 0.8 liters that reflects the expanded scope of the later system, which no longer incorporates the brake booster function listed on the earlier configuration.
- All three rows carry a normal use condition, meaning the capacities listed apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or first-change-only scenarios.
