Additional Notes

  • The Fiat Ritmo / Strada 138 power steering system carries a capacity of 0.14 liter across both the Abarth 125 TC and Abarth 130 TC variants for the 1983-1987 model years, reflecting a compact fluid volume consistent with the relatively small steering assemblies found in vehicles of this class.
  • The 0.14 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid the system holds under normal operating conditions rather than a larger overhaul or total system flush volume.
  • The Abarth 125 TC specification references a steering box configuration, while the Abarth 130 TC references a steering gear configuration, indicating a mechanical distinction between the two variants despite sharing an identical fluid capacity.
  • Both configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 0.14 liter capacity applies under standard operating circumstances rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only scenario.
