Additional Notes

  • The Opel Admiral power steering system holds 1.2 liters of fluid across all three available variants — the 2.8 E, 2.8 H, and 2.8 S — covering the 1969-1977 model years.
  • A capacity of 1.2 liters is a relatively modest figure, consistent with the reservoir and line volume typical of a recirculating ball-type power steering system found in vehicles of that era.
  • All three variants share an identical 1.2-liter capacity under normal use conditions, meaning no variant requires a different service fill volume based on driving environment.
  • The normal use condition designation applies uniformly across the 2.8 E, 2.8 H, and 2.8 S specifications, with no differentiation in capacity tied to a severe use condition for any of the three.
