Additional Notes

  • The Ferrari Mondial carries two distinct steering system types across its production span, with the Mondial 8, Mondial quattrovalvole, and Mondial 3.2 all using a steering box, while the Mondial T uses a full power steering system.
  • The steering box capacity across the Mondial 8 (1980-1982), Mondial quattrovalvole (1982-1985), and Mondial 3.2 (1985-1989) is 0.12 liter, a notably small volume consistent with the limited fluid reservoir typical of recirculating-ball or worm-gear steering box designs.
  • The Mondial T carries a 1.4-liter power steering fluid capacity, more than eleven times the volume of the steering box variants, reflecting the larger reservoir and hydraulic circuit associated with a rack-mounted power steering pump system.
  • The 1.4-liter capacity figure applies to both the 1989-1990 and 1991-1993 Mondial T configurations, indicating no change in the power steering system volume between those two production periods.
  • The check interval for the steering box on the Mondial 8, Mondial quattrovalvole, and Mondial 3.2 is every 10,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • The Mondial T introduces a dual-condition check interval of 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use. The addition of a time-based threshold alongside the distance-based one reflects the fluid degradation that can occur in hydraulic power steering systems even when mileage accumulation is low.
  • The transition from a 0.12-liter steering box to a 1.4-liter power steering system coincides with the introduction of the Mondial T in 1989, marking a significant change in steering architecture within the Mondial lineup.
