Additional Notes

  • The Jeep Cherokee/Liberty KJ 2.8 CRD carries a power steering fluid capacity of 1.2 liters across all four configurations covering the 2005-2006 model years, whether in two-wheel or all-wheel drive form and regardless of whether the market is the USA or Canada.
  • A 1.2-liter capacity in a hydraulic power steering system is consistent with a reservoir and line fill volume rather than a full system overhaul quantity, meaning the figure reflects the serviceable fluid volume accessible during a standard top-up or fluid exchange procedure.
  • Three of the four configurations specify a fluid check interval of 20,000 km under normal use conditions, applying to the Canadian-market 2.8 CRD, the Canadian-market 2.8 CRD AWD, and the USA-market 2.8 CRD AWD.
  • The USA-market 2.8 CRD in two-wheel drive configuration carries the same 1.2-liter capacity as the other variants but does not carry a check interval figure in the specifications, unlike the remaining three configurations.
  • The 20,000 km check interval tied to normal use conditions in the Canadian two-wheel drive and both AWD variants represents a distance-based inspection point rather than a mandatory fluid replacement interval, as the specification uses the term "check" rather than a drain-and-fill directive.
  • The AWD variants in both the USA and Canadian markets share the same 1.2-liter capacity as the two-wheel drive versions, indicating that the addition of all-wheel drive hardware on the KJ platform does not alter the power steering fluid volume specification for 2005-2006.
