Additional Notes
- All four configurations of the Ford Taunus 20M (EU) P7b series across the 1968-1971 model years share an identical power steering fluid capacity of 0.3 liter.
- The 0.3 liter figure applies to the steering box specifically, meaning the capacity reflects the fluid volume held within the recirculating ball or worm-and-sector steering box unit rather than a reservoir-fed rack-and-pinion system.
- A steering box capacity of 0.3 liter is a relatively small volume, consistent with the sealed or semi-sealed lubrication design common to steering boxes of that era, where fluid serves primarily as a lubricant rather than a hydraulic medium under high pressure.
- The capacity value is listed under normal use conditions for all four variants, covering the 2.0 liter HC, 2.0 liter LC, 2.6 liter, and 2.6 liter RS engine configurations without differentiation.
- No variation in steering box fluid capacity exists between the lower-displacement 2.0 liter engines and the larger 2.6 liter units, indicating the P7b platform used a uniform steering box assembly regardless of engine output.
- The RS designation on the 2.6 liter variant, which typically denotes a higher-performance trim level, carries the same 0.3 liter steering box specification as the standard 2.6 liter configuration.
