Fiat 132 (EU)

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Fiat 132 (EU) uses power steering fluid with a capacity range of 0,25 to 0,9 liters. Service intervals include a check every 10000 km. The data covers 8 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Across the 1972-1974 and 1974-1977 model ranges, the Fiat 132 steering box capacity is listed at 0.25 liter for both the 1.6 and 1.8 engine variants, indicating a consistent mechanical assembly across those displacements and production periods.
  • The 1977-1981 generation introduced a slight increase in steering box capacity to 0.27 liter across both the 1.6 and 2.0 variants, reflecting a minor revision to the steering box assembly compared to earlier production years.
  • The 1977-1981 configurations for both the 1.6 and 2.0 engine variants carry a separate power steering entry with a capacity of 0.9 liter, which represents the hydraulic fluid reservoir and circuit volume associated with a rack-and-pinion or pump-assisted steering system rather than the steering box lubricant itself.
  • The 0.9 liter power steering capacity is notably higher than the 0.27 liter steering box figure listed alongside it for the same 1977-1981 variants, because the two entries cover distinct components: the hydraulic assist circuit and the mechanical steering box respectively.
  • A 10,000 km check interval is specified for all steering box entries across the full 1972-1981 production span, applying under normal use conditions. No equivalent interval is listed for the power steering fluid entries in the 1977-1981 rows.
  • The absence of a check interval in the power steering rows for 1977-1981 variants contrasts with the steering box rows for the same period, where the 10,000 km figure is retained, suggesting the two fluid systems were serviced on different schedules.
  • The 1.8 engine variant appears only in the 1972-1974 and 1974-1977 rows, both with a 0.25 liter steering box capacity and a 10,000 km check interval, matching the specification of the 1.6 variant across those same periods.
