MG MG-ZS

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

MG MG-ZS uses power steering fluid with a capacity range of 0,3 to 0,35 liters. Service intervals include checks every 20000 km or 12 months and 25000 km or 12 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The MG ZS power steering system holds either 0.3 or 0.35 liters depending on the engine variant, reflecting the relatively small reservoir volumes typical of hydraulic rack-and-pinion steering systems in compact cars.
  • The 1.8 16V and TD variants share the same 0.3-liter power steering fluid capacity, while the V6-24V carries a slightly larger 0.35-liter capacity.
  • The V6-24V's marginally higher capacity of 0.35 liters, compared to 0.3 liters in the other two variants, corresponds to the greater hydraulic demand associated with a heavier six-cylinder engine over the front axle.
  • All three variants specify a check interval rather than a replacement interval, meaning the service action at each interval is an inspection and top-up assessment rather than a full fluid exchange.
  • The 1.8 16V and V6-24V share a check interval of every 25,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The TD variant 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 three specifications apply to normal use conditions, meaning the stated intervals are not adjusted for severe driving environments such as frequent towing or extreme temperatures.
