Additional Notes

  • Across all four configurations of the Porsche 944 (EU) covered here, the power steering fluid capacity is uniformly 0.6 liter, indicating a relatively compact reservoir system consistent with the rack-and-pinion setups common to sports cars of the era.
  • The 944 (1981-1989) and 944 S (1986-1988) carry only a capacity figure of 0.6 liter under normal use conditions, with no inspection interval listed in the specifications.
  • The 944 S2 (1988-1991) shares the 0.6 liter capacity but adds a check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The 944 Turbo (1985-1991) also specifies a 20,000 km or 12-month check interval alongside the 0.6 liter capacity, matching the interval structure of the 944 S2.
  • A check interval expressed as a distance or time threshold, whichever arrives first, means the fluid level and condition are to be inspected at the earlier of the two points rather than waiting for both conditions to be met simultaneously.
  • The 944 S, covering model years 1986-1988, represents the narrowest production window among the four configurations listed, yet retains the same 0.6 liter capacity as the longer-running base 944.
