Additional Notes
- The Land Rover Defender LD (USA) power steering system carries a capacity of 2.9 liters across all three configurations listed — the Defender 110 3.9 V8i (1993-1994), the Defender 90 3.9 V8i (1994-1995), and the Defender 90 4.0 V8i (1997-1998).
- A 2.9-liter power steering fluid capacity is notably large relative to many passenger vehicles, which typically fall in the 1.0-1.5 liter range, suggesting a high-volume hydraulic circuit consistent with a heavy-duty off-road platform.
- All three configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 2.9-liter capacity figure applies under standard operating conditions rather than severe-duty or first-change scenarios.
- The Defender 110 and Defender 90 body variants share the same 2.9-liter power steering capacity despite differences in wheelbase and overall vehicle dimensions.
- The displacement change from the 3.9 V8i engine to the 4.0 V8i engine in the Defender 90 did not alter the power steering fluid capacity, which remained at 2.9 liters through the 1997-1998 model years.
