Additional Notes

  • The Jeep Cherokee KJ (EU) power steering system carries a fluid capacity of 1.2 liters across all listed engine variants, covering the 2.5 CRD, 2.8 CRD, and their respective AWD configurations.
  • A capacity figure of 1.2 liters is typical of a rack-and-pinion or recirculating ball power steering reservoir fill, representing the total system volume rather than a partial service quantity.
  • The 20,000 km interval specified across all rows is a check interval, meaning fluid level and condition are inspected at that mileage rather than the fluid being replaced outright.
  • All specifications are assigned a normal use condition, meaning the 20,000 km check interval applies to standard operating environments rather than demanding or severe-duty cycles.
  • The 2.5 CRD and 2.5 CRD AWD variants share identical power steering specifications for the 2001-2005 period, with the 1.2-liter capacity and 20,000 km check interval applying equally to both drivetrain configurations.
  • The 2.8 CRD engine was introduced in the KJ lineup from 2002, two model years after the 2.5 CRD, yet both engines share the same 1.2-liter power steering fluid capacity and check interval.
  • The 2.8 CRD and 2.8 CRD AWD variants span two distinct production periods, 2002-2005 and 2005-2007, with the power steering capacity and check interval remaining unchanged across both periods.
