Additional Notes
- The 5000 GT Iniezione carries a power steering fluid capacity of 0.2 liter, which is a notably small volume consistent with a steering box design rather than a rack-and-pinion or full hydraulic pump reservoir system.
- The steering box designation in the specifications indicates a recirculating ball or worm-and-sector type mechanism, which typically holds far less fluid than a conventional hydraulic power steering pump circuit, aligning with the 0.2 liter figure recorded here.
- Under normal use conditions, the Maserati 5000 GT AM 103 calls for a fluid level check at every 4,000 km, reflecting the relatively frequent monitoring interval associated with older steering box assemblies where minor seepage was common by design.
- The change interval for the steering box fluid is set at 20,000 km under normal use, placing the drain-and-refill cycle at five times the frequency of the check interval, a ratio that reflects the low total volume involved and the importance of maintaining fluid cleanliness in a precision steering component.
