Additional Notes
- The Datsun (Nissan) Silvia S12 power steering system carries a capacity of 0.9 liter across all three engine variants covered in the 1984-1988 model range.
- The 1.8 Turbo, 2.0 DOHC, and 2.0 engine configurations each share an identical 0.9 liter power steering fluid capacity, meaning no adjustment is needed between variants when servicing the system.
- A capacity of 0.9 liter is a relatively modest figure, consistent with the compact reservoir and rack-and-pinion or recirculating-ball steering systems typical of passenger cars from this era.
- All three configurations carry a normal use condition designation, which in fluid service contexts refers to standard operating environments as opposed to severe or extended-duty cycles.
- The uniform 0.9 liter capacity across the turbocharged and naturally aspirated variants of the S12 indicates the power steering hardware was not differentiated by engine type within the generation.
