Chery Ove / Alve

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Chery Ove / Alve requires power steering fluid with a capacity range 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.

  • Check 15000 km

Additional Notes

  • The Chery Ove / Alve power steering system does not specify a fixed fill volume. Instead, the capacity specification is expressed as a level range — fluid is to be maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir.
  • A level-based specification of this kind is typical for hydraulic power steering reservoirs, where the correct operating amount is determined by the reservoir's own graduated markings rather than a measured quantity added during service.
  • The 15,000 km check interval applies under normal use conditions across all four configurations — the 1.6 (88 kW), 1.6 (95 kW), 1.8, and 2.0 engine variants — covering the full 2008-2015 model range.
  • The service action at 15,000 km is a fluid level check, not a fluid replacement. No drain-and-refill interval is listed in the specifications for any of the four variants.
  • Both 1.6-litre variants share identical power steering service specifications despite differing in output by 7 kW, indicating the power steering system is not differentiated by engine tune within the same displacement.
  • The 1.8 and 2.0 engine configurations carry the same 15,000 km check interval and the same min-to-max level specification as the 1.6 variants, meaning the power steering service schedule is uniform across all displacements in the Ove / Alve lineup for 2008-2015.
