Additional Notes

  • The Daimler SP250 steering box holds 0.85 liter of fluid, a relatively modest capacity consistent with a compact recirculating-ball or worm-type steering box rather than a full hydraulic power steering pump circuit.
  • Under normal use conditions, the steering box fluid is subject to a check interval of 8,000 km, reflecting a routine maintenance cadence for a system that does not cycle fluid under high thermal or pressure stress.
  • An initial service check interval of 800 km applies to the same 0.85-liter steering box capacity, representing a break-in inspection point ten times shorter than the standard interval, intended to catch early seepage or settling in a newly assembled or freshly serviced unit.
