Additional Notes

  • Both the Grand Cherokee 3.1 TD and the 3.1 TD AWD share an identical power steering fluid capacity of 1.2 liters, indicating a system fill volume consistent across the two drivetrain configurations available in the 1999-2001 WJ EU range.
  • The 1.2-liter figure represents the total fluid volume held within the power steering system, which typically encompasses the reservoir, pump, and line capacity rather than a partial top-up quantity.
  • The specified service action is a fluid level check rather than a full fluid exchange, meaning the 1.2-liter capacity serves as a reference for the total system volume rather than a periodic drain-and-fill quantity.
  • The check interval is set at 12,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions, reflecting a dual-trigger schedule that accounts for both mileage accumulation and elapsed time.
  • The 6-month time trigger in the interval means that even in low-mileage operation, a fluid level inspection is due at least twice per year regardless of distance driven.
