Chery Cielo

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Chery Cielo power steering fluid capacity ranges between min and max. Service intervals occur every 15000 km. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Across all four Chery Cielo configurations spanning 2008-2015, the power steering fluid capacity specification is expressed as a level range rather than a fixed volume, meaning the reservoir must be filled to sit between the minimum and maximum markers on the reservoir rather than to a precise measured quantity.
  • The 15,000 km check interval applies under normal use conditions across the 1.6 (88 kW), 1.6 (95 kW), 1.8, and 2.0 engine variants, indicating a consistent service schedule regardless of engine displacement or output rating within the Cielo lineup.
  • The specification calls for a fluid level check at 15,000 km rather than a fluid replacement, which reflects standard practice for hydraulic power steering systems where fluid degradation is slower than in systems like engine oil, making periodic inspection sufficient under normal operating conditions.
  • The 1.6-litre engine is represented by two distinct output ratings, 88 kW and 95 kW, both sharing identical power steering fluid level and check interval specifications under normal use conditions.
  • A "between min and max" capacity specification is typical for reservoir-based hydraulic systems, where overfilling above the maximum mark can cause fluid expansion issues and underfilling below the minimum mark risks pump cavitation and steering assist loss.
