Mitsubishi Galant V (EU)

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

The Mitsubishi Galant V (EU) uses power steering fluid with a capacity of 0.9 liter. The data covers 4 configurations of this model.

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

Galant 1.8 Turbo Diesel (1984-1988)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,9 liter

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Galant V (EU) power steering system carries a capacity of 0.9 liter across all four listed engine variants, which is a relatively modest reservoir volume consistent with compact rack-and-pinion or recirculating ball power steering assemblies of the era.
  • The 1.6-liter variant, produced from 1985-1987, shares the same 0.9-liter power steering fluid capacity as the larger-displacement engines in the same generation, indicating a uniform hydraulic system design across the lineup.
  • The Galant 1.8 Turbo Diesel, spanning the full 1984-1988 model range covered by these specifications, holds the same 0.9-liter capacity as the petrol variants despite the differing mechanical demands of a diesel drivetrain on auxiliary systems.
  • Both the naturally aspirated Galant 2.0 and the Galant 2.0 Turbo, each produced from 1985-1987, are rated at 0.9 liter for power steering fluid, meaning the addition of forced induction on the turbocharged variant did not alter the hydraulic steering system capacity.
  • All four configurations carry a normal use condition designation, which in fluid service terms refers to standard operating environments without the accelerated wear factors associated with severe-duty classifications such as extreme temperatures or heavy towing cycles.
  • A 0.9-liter figure in this context represents a service fill capacity, reflecting the working volume of the power steering reservoir and circuit rather than a larger overhaul or total system flush volume that would account for fluid retained in all hydraulic lines and the steering gear itself.
