Additional Notes

  • The BAIC Senova BJ40 power steering system holds a capacity of 1 liter across all engine variants in the 2023 lineup, covering outputs from 150 kW through 184 kW. A 1-liter figure is typical of a service fill for a hydraulic power steering reservoir rather than a full system overhaul volume.
  • The 150 kW variant carries only a normal use condition in the specifications, while the 160 kW, 165 kW, 170 kW, and 184 kW variants each appear under both normal and cold climate use conditions.
  • Under normal use conditions, the power steering fluid change interval across all BJ40 engine variants is 50,000 km or 30 months, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger format means the time limit of 30 months can become the binding factor even when mileage accumulation is low.
  • The cold climate use condition for the 160 kW, 165 kW, 170 kW, and 184 kW variants shares the same 50,000 km and 30-month change interval as the normal use condition. The capacity of 1 liter also remains unchanged between the two use conditions for each of those variants.
  • The uniformity of the 1-liter capacity figure across all five engine output levels indicates the BJ40 power steering reservoir size does not scale with engine power output within the 2023 model range.
