MG MG-ZR

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

MG MG-ZR uses power steering fluid with a capacity of 0,3 liter. Service intervals include checks at 25000 km/ 12 months or 20000 km/ 12 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The MG ZR power steering system holds 0.3 liter across all listed variants, a figure typical of a reservoir service fill rather than a full system overhaul capacity.
  • Five of the six variants — the 1.4 16V, 1.4 Plus, 1.6 16V, 1.8 16V, and 1.8 16V VVC — share an identical check interval of 25,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions.
  • The MG ZR TD carries a shorter check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, compared to the 25,000 km interval specified for the petrol variants.
  • All six configurations are rated under normal use conditions, meaning the stated intervals apply to standard operating environments rather than severe or demanding duty cycles.
  • The 1.8 16V VVC variant uses a Variable Valve Control system, a technology that alters intake valve timing to vary engine output, yet the power steering fluid capacity and check interval remain identical to the standard 1.8 16V.
  • The 12-month time limit applies alongside the kilometre threshold for all variants, meaning whichever limit is reached first governs when a fluid check is due, regardless of mileage accumulated.
