Additional Notes

  • The Jeep CJ-7 / CJ-8 (USA) power steering system carries a fluid capacity of 1.1 liters across the 1985-1987 model years, which is a relatively modest reservoir volume consistent with the compact hydraulic assist setups found on light-duty off-road vehicles of that era.
  • The 1.1-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid the system holds under normal operating conditions rather than a dry or overhaul fill, which would typically account for additional volume in lines and components being fully evacuated.
  • The capacity specification is tied to a normal use condition, indicating the 1.1-liter value applies to standard operating circumstances rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only service scenario.
