Lancia Appia
Power steering fluid capacity & service interval
Lancia Appia requires 0,25 liter of power steering fluid. Service intervals occur every 3000 km. The data covers 6 configurations.

Additional Notes
- All six Lancia Appia variants covered under the 1959-1963 model years share an identical steering gear fluid capacity of 0.25 liter, indicating a compact recirculating or worm-type steering gear unit rather than a rack-and-pinion or full hydraulic power steering reservoir.
- The 0.25 liter figure represents a service fill capacity for the steering gear housing, a volume typical of manual steering gearboxes that use a small quantity of oil for internal lubrication rather than hydraulic actuation.
- A 3,000 km check interval applies uniformly across the Convertible (812.01), Coupe (812.04), G.T.E. (812.03), Lusso (812.02), Sport (812.05), and the base 808.xx series under normal use conditions.
- The 3,000 km check interval reflects a relatively frequent inspection schedule, consistent with maintenance practices of the era for steering gear oil levels, where minor seepage over time was common in older gearbox designs.
- The base Appia series carries the designation 808.xx, where the "xx" suffix indicates a range of sub-variants, while the later body variants are grouped under the 812.xx series with individual numeric suffixes distinguishing each body style.
- The uniform 0.25 liter capacity and 3,000 km check interval across all six variants suggest a shared steering gear assembly across the 812.xx body range and the 808.xx base series during the 1959-1963 production period.
