Mitsubishi 3000GT (USA / CAN)

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi 3000GT (USA / CAN) power steering fluid capacity ranges from 0,9 to 1,45 liters. Service intervals require a check every 30000 miles or 24 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi 3000GT (USA / CAN) power steering system holds 0.9 liter across the base and SL trims for all covered model years, a figure consistent with a standard rack-and-pinion or recirculating ball power steering reservoir fill.
  • The 3000GT VR-4 introduces a second capacity value of 1.45 liters when equipped with the four-wheel steering (4WS) system, reflecting the additional fluid volume required by the rear steering actuator and its associated hydraulic circuit.
  • The 0.9-liter figure on the VR-4 applies specifically to the two-wheel steering (2WS) configuration, meaning the steering system type directly determines which capacity value is relevant for a service fill.
  • The 4WS option on the VR-4 represents a 61 percent increase in fluid capacity over the 2WS figure, a difference significant enough to affect both the quantity of fluid needed and the time required to bleed the system properly.
  • The VR-4 trim carries the 4WS capacity specification across two separate year ranges, 1990-1993 and 1993-1999, with both ranges sharing identical 0.9-liter (2WS) and 1.45-liter (4WS) values.
  • All configurations across the 1990-1999 model years share a single service interval of 30,000 miles or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, for the power steering fluid check.
  • The interval is expressed as a check rather than a fluid exchange, indicating the service action at 30,000 miles or 24 months is an inspection of fluid condition and level rather than a mandatory full replacement.
  • The SL trim maintains the same 0.9-liter capacity and 30,000-mile or 24-month check interval from 1990 through 1999, with no variation between the 1990-1996 and 1997-1999 year ranges in the specifications.
