Additional Notes
- The Opel Kapitän power steering system carries a fluid capacity of 1.2 liters across both the 2.8 H and 2.8 S variants for the 1969-1970 model years.
- A capacity of 1.2 liters is a relatively modest figure, consistent with the reservoir and line volume of a recirculating ball-type power steering system common to passenger cars of that era.
- Both the 2.8 H and 2.8 S specifications are listed under normal use conditions, meaning the capacity figure of 1.2 liters applies to standard operating environments rather than severe or heavy-duty service.
- The identical 1.2-liter capacity across the 2.8 H and 2.8 S trims indicates that despite any differences between the two engine variants, the power steering system itself was shared or dimensionally equivalent in both configurations.
