Dodge Neon / SX, PL (USA / CAN)

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Dodge Neon / SX, PL (USA / CAN) requires power steering fluid with a capacity of 0,95 liter. Service intervals consist of checks every 24000 km or 12 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Dodge Neon / SX, PL power steering system holds 0.95 liter across all three listed configurations, covering both the 110 kW and 98 kW variants of the 2.0-16V engine for 1994-1998 as well as the 1999-2002 2.0-16V model.
  • A capacity of 0.95 liter is a relatively modest reservoir volume, consistent with a compact passenger car power steering system where the fluid primarily serves the pump and rack assembly rather than a large hydraulic circuit.
  • The 1994-1998 rows for both the 110 kW and 98 kW 2.0-16V engines carry only a capacity figure under normal use conditions, with no interval value listed alongside.
  • The 1999-2002 2.0-16V configuration adds a service check interval of 24,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, a detail absent from the earlier 1994-1998 entries.
  • A check interval rather than a full fluid change interval means the specification calls for inspecting fluid level and condition at 24,000 km or every 12 months, whichever comes first, rather than a scheduled drain and refill.
  • The two 1994-1998 engine variants, rated at 110 kW and 98 kW respectively, share an identical 0.95 liter power steering capacity, indicating the output difference between the two engines had no effect on the steering system volume.
