Additional Notes
- The De Tomaso Longchamp carries a power steering fluid capacity of 1.2 liters across both the 1972-1973 and 1974-1979 model year groupings.
- A 1.2-liter capacity in a power steering reservoir is a relatively modest volume, consistent with the rack-and-pinion or recirculating-ball hydraulic assist systems common to European grand touring cars of the era.
- The specified check interval of 6,000 km applies under normal use conditions for both the 1972-1973 and 1974-1979 configurations, meaning the fluid level is to be inspected at that mileage point rather than fully replaced.
- The distinction between a check interval and a change interval is relevant here: 6,000 km marks a fluid level verification, not a scheduled drain-and-refill service, which places the emphasis on monitoring for leaks or consumption rather than fluid degradation.
- The capacity figure remains unchanged between the two model year groupings, indicating no alteration to the power steering system volume across the 1972-1979 production span covered by the specifications.
