Additional Notes

  • The BMW V8, Glas (EU) 3000 V8 carries a power steering fluid capacity of 1 liter, which is consistent with a service fill volume for a hydraulic power steering reservoir rather than a full system overhaul quantity.
  • The 3000 V8 specifies a check interval of 5,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid level is inspected at that mileage rather than replaced on a fixed drain-and-fill schedule.
  • The system in the 3000 V8 is identified as hydraulic power steering, which operates through pressurized fluid to assist steering effort, making the 1-liter capacity figure relevant to maintaining adequate fluid level within that pressurized circuit.
