Additional Notes

  • The Ford Taurus D3 (USA) power steering fluid specification applies to both front-wheel drive and AWD variants of the 3.5 V6 across the 2010-2012 range.
  • All four configurations share the same service specification: fluid level maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, which is a standard top-up reference rather than a measured fill volume.
  • The 3.5 V6 FWD and 3.5 V6 AWD configurations each carry separate specification entries for the 2010-2011 and 2012 model years, indicating the two sub-periods are treated as distinct service references.
  • A "between min and max" specification reflects a reservoir level check rather than a drain-and-fill capacity figure, meaning no discrete fluid volume in liters or quarts is associated with routine power steering service for any of these configurations.
  • All listed configurations are designated under normal use conditions, with no severe-use interval or alternative specification present in the data for any of the four rows.
