Lonsdale All models
Power steering fluid capacity & service interval
Lonsdale All models use power steering fluid with a capacity range of 0,3 to 0,9 liters. Service intervals include a check at 40000 km. The data covers 6 configurations.

Additional Notes
- The 1.6 engine, covering both the 1982-1983 and 1983-1986 variants, uses a steering box configuration with a fluid capacity of 0.3 liter and a check interval of 40,000 km under normal use conditions.
- The Lonsdale 2.0 and 2.6 engines from 1983-1986 each carry two separate steering-related fluid entries: one for the power steering system and one for the steering box, indicating a dual-component steering arrangement on those variants.
- The steering box capacity of 0.3 liter is consistent across all engine variants and model years listed, spanning the 1.6, 2.0, and 2.6 engines.
- The power steering system on the 2.0 and 2.6 engines holds 0.9 liter, which is three times the volume of the steering box capacity recorded for the same engines, reflecting the larger reservoir and circuit volume typical of a hydraulic power-assisted system.
- No check interval is listed for the power steering entries on the 2.0 and 2.6 engines, whereas the steering box entries across all variants specify a 40,000 km check interval under normal use conditions.
- The 1.6 engine does not carry a power steering entry, meaning only the 0.3-liter steering box specification applies to the 1982-1983 and 1983-1986 1.6 variants.
