Additional Notes
- Across all five configurations of the Datsun (Nissan) Violet, 710/A10, the power steering fluid specification applies to the steering gear, not a separate reservoir or pump circuit.
- The 710-series variants — the 140J, 160J, and 160J SSS built from 1973-1977 — share an identical steering gear fluid capacity of 0.27 liter.
- The A10-series Violet variants, the 160J and 160J SSS from 1977-1981, carry a marginally higher steering gear capacity of 0.28 liter, representing a 0.01-liter increase over the earlier 710 platform.
- A capacity figure of 0.27-0.28 liter is characteristic of a steering gear fill rather than a full hydraulic power steering system with a remote reservoir, indicating a relatively compact fluid volume within the gear assembly itself.
- All five configurations share a uniform check interval of 10,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning the interval is tied specifically to routine operating circumstances rather than a more demanding service schedule.
- The 160J SSS trim appears in both the 710 (1973-1977) and the A10 Violet (1977-1981) generations, with the steering gear capacity shifting from 0.27 liter to 0.28 liter between the two platform generations despite sharing the same trim designation.
