Lamborghini Diablo

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Lamborghini Diablo power steering fluid capacity ranges from 0,12 to 2,7 liters. Service intervals include 12000 km for checks and 24 months for fluid changes. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Lamborghini Diablo steering box capacity of 0.12 liter is a notably small figure, consistent with a sealed or near-sealed recirculating-ball or rack-type steering box that holds only enough fluid to lubricate internal components rather than support a full hydraulic assist circuit.
  • The 0.12 liter steering box capacity applies across three distinct configurations: the base Diablo (1990-1997), the Diablo and Diablo Roadster (1998-2001), and the Diablo 6.0 (2000-2001), indicating a consistent steering box design across the model's production span.
  • The Diablo 6.0 (2000-2001) carries an additional power steering and hydraulic levelling system with a capacity of 2.7 liters, a figure roughly 22 times larger than the steering box capacity on the same vehicle, reflecting a full hydraulic circuit that serves both steering assist and suspension levelling functions.
  • A 24-month fluid change interval is specified for the Diablo 6.0 power steering and hydraulic levelling system, a time-based interval that applies regardless of distance traveled and reflects the degradation characteristics of hydraulic fluid under thermal and pressure cycling.
  • All four rows carry a 12,000 km check interval under normal use conditions, applying uniformly to both the small-capacity steering boxes and the larger power steering and hydraulic levelling system on the Diablo 6.0.
  • The steering box entries across all configurations list only a check interval at 12,000 km with no fluid change interval specified, distinguishing them from the Diablo 6.0 power steering and hydraulic levelling system, which carries both a check interval and a 24-month change interval.
