Mitsubishi Galant (USA / CAN)

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Galant (USA / CAN) requires power steering fluid with a capacity range of 0,9 to 1,2 liters. Service intervals consist of checks every 30000 miles or 24 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Galant 2.4 produced from 1994-1998 carries a power steering system capacity of 0.9 liter, which represents the total fluid volume the system holds during a service fill.
  • Starting with the 1999 model year, the 2.4-liter engine configuration saw a capacity increase to 1.2 liters, a figure that also applies to the 3.0-liter variant covering the same 1999-2004 period.
  • The 1.2-liter capacity figure is shared across the 2.4 (1999-2004), 2.4 (2003-2012), and 3.0 (1999-2004) configurations, meaning engine displacement alone does not differentiate the power steering fluid volume in those generations.
  • All four configurations carry a check interval of 30,000 miles or 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning the interval applies to standard driving circumstances rather than demanding or high-stress operating environments.
  • The specifications list a check interval rather than a drain-and-fill interval, indicating the service action at 30,000 miles or 24 months is an inspection of fluid level and condition rather than a scheduled full fluid replacement.
  • The 2.4-liter configuration spans two overlapping specification entries for the years 2003-2004, covered by both the 1999-2004 and 2003-2012 rows, both of which share identical capacity and interval values of 1.2 liters and 30,000 miles or 24 months.
