Mitsubishi Celeste (EU)

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Celeste (EU) requires power steering fluid with a capacity of 0,18 liter. Service intervals consist of a check every 40000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
Celeste 1600, A73 (1975-1980)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,18 liter
  • Check 40000 km
Celeste 2000, A78 (1975-1980)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,18 liter
  • Check 40000 km

Additional Notes

  • Both the Celeste 1600 (A73) and Celeste 2000 (A78) share an identical power steering fluid capacity of 0.18 liter, a figure consistent with a steering box design rather than a rack-and-pinion system, which typically holds a larger fluid volume.
  • The 0.18 liter capacity reflects a service fill level for the steering box, meaning the amount of fluid the system holds during normal operation rather than a full overhaul or flush quantity.
  • The Mitsubishi Celeste (EU) power steering service interval is set at a check every 40,000 km under normal use conditions, applying equally to both the 1600 and 2000 engine variants across the 1975-1980 production span.
  • The steering box noted in both configurations is a recirculating ball or worm-and-sector type unit, which is a conventional design for vehicles of the mid-to-late 1970s and accounts for the relatively small fluid capacity compared to modern hydraulic rack systems.
  • The 40,000 km check interval represents a fluid inspection point rather than a mandatory replacement, which is a common service approach for sealed or semi-sealed steering box assemblies holding minimal fluid volumes.
