Additional Notes

  • The Chery M11 / M12 power steering fluid level specification calls for the fluid to sit between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, rather than stating a fixed volume. A "between min and max" fill target is typical for hydraulic power steering reservoirs, where the acceptable range accounts for fluid expansion at operating temperature.
  • A fluid level check interval of 15,000 km applies under normal use conditions across all four engine variants covered by the specifications: the 1.6 (88 kW), 1.6 (95 kW), 1.8, and 2.0.
  • The fluid change interval is set at 20,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, and applies under normal use conditions. The dual-trigger format means a time-based limit of two years can prompt a change even before the distance threshold is reached.
  • Both the 15,000 km check and the 20,000 km / 24-month change interval are consistent across all engine variants in the 2008-2015 range, indicating no variation in power steering service scheduling between the 1.6 (88 kW), 1.6 (95 kW), 1.8, and 2.0 configurations.
  • The two 1.6-litre variants differ in power output, rated at 88 kW and 95 kW respectively, yet both share identical power steering fluid service specifications, suggesting the hydraulic steering system is common between the two engine tunes.
