Additional Notes

  • The Bristol 409 carries a power steering fluid capacity of 0.28 liter, which is a notably small volume consistent with a steering box design rather than a rack-and-pinion or reservoir-fed pump system.
  • The 0.28 liter figure represents a service fill capacity for the steering box, meaning the amount of fluid the unit holds during normal operation rather than a full overhaul or flush quantity.
  • The single capacity value covering the 1965-1967 model years indicates no variation in steering box fluid volume across the production span of the 409.
  • The specification is listed under normal use conditions, meaning the 0.28 liter capacity applies to standard operating circumstances rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only service scenario.
