Additional Notes

  • The Honda Accord III, CA (EU) power steering system capacity across the 1.6-liter engine variants shifted between model year brackets. The 1984-1986 specification lists 1.5 liters, while the 1986-1987 bracket drops to 1.4 liters, a figure that carries forward into the 1987-1989 bracket as the lower bound of a range.
  • The 1987-1989 Accord 1.6 is the only configuration in the lineup with a capacity expressed as a range, spanning 1.4 to 1.7 liters. A range of this kind typically reflects variation between a dry fill after a full system overhaul and a service fill performed when some fluid remains in the system components.
  • All 2.0-liter variants, including the standard Accord, the Aerodeck body style, the fuel-injected 2.0i, and the 2.0i-16V, share a uniform 1.4-liter power steering fluid capacity across both the 1986-1987 and 1987-1989 model year brackets.
  • The Aerodeck, a wagon-derived body style, carries the same 1.4-liter power steering capacity as the standard sedan across all shared engine and year combinations, indicating no system volume difference between the two body configurations.
  • The 2.0i-16V variant, which represents the higher-output 16-valve version of the 2.0-liter engine introduced in the 1987-1989 bracket, shares the 1.4-liter capacity with the standard 2.0 and 2.0i engines, suggesting a common steering rack and reservoir assembly across the 2.0-liter family.
  • All rows across the full 1984-1989 production span carry a normal use condition, meaning none of the listed capacities are associated with a severe-duty or first-change-only service distinction.
