Additional Notes

  • Across the petrol variants of the Hyundai ix35 / Tucson EL/LM (EU) covered in these specifications, two distinct power steering fluid capacity values appear: 0.9 liter and 1.0 liter.
  • The 2.0 MPI 4WD, 2.0i CVVT 2WD, 2.0i CVVT 4WD, and 2.4 MPI 4WD variants from 2010-2013 all share a power steering fluid capacity of 0.9 liter under normal use conditions.
  • The ix35 2.4i CVVT 4WD, introduced in the 2012-2013 model years, carries a slightly higher power steering fluid capacity of 1.0 liter under normal use conditions, setting it apart from the other variants in the lineup.
  • A capacity figure for a power steering system in this range, around 0.9-1.0 liter, is consistent with a service fill volume, meaning the amount of fluid the reservoir and hydraulic circuit hold during normal operation rather than a full system overhaul quantity.
  • All five configurations list normal as the applicable use condition, meaning none of the capacity values are tied to a severe-duty or first-change-only service scenario.
  • The difference in capacity between the 2.4 MPI 4WD at 0.9 liter and the 2.4i CVVT 4WD at 1.0 liter indicates that engine designation alone does not determine power steering fluid volume, as the CVVT variant of the same 2.4-liter displacement requires a marginally larger fill.
