Additional Notes

  • The Renault 20 variants — covering the L/TL/GTL (R1271), LS/TS (R1272), LS/TS (R1277), and TX (R1279) — all share a power steering fluid capacity of 1.1 liters, indicating a larger reservoir and rack assembly than the 30 series counterparts.
  • The Renault 30 TS (R1275) and 30 TX (R1278) both carry a notably lower power steering fluid capacity of 0.4 liters, less than half the volume specified for the 20 series, reflecting a different steering system design in the 30 range.
  • All six configurations list a normal use condition, meaning the 1.1-liter and 0.4-liter figures apply to standard operating environments rather than severe or high-stress duty cycles.
  • The R1271 designation covers the 20 L/TL/GTL from 1975-1981, making it the earliest Renault 20 variant in the specifications, with the 1.1-liter capacity applying across that entire production span.
  • The LS/TS trim of the Renault 20 spans two separate internal designations: R1272 for 1977-1980 and R1277 for 1980-1984, yet both carry the identical 1.1-liter power steering fluid capacity, indicating continuity in the steering system specification across the model revision.
  • The 30 TX (R1278) entered production in 1979, four years after the 30 TS (R1275) debuted in 1975, yet both share the same 0.4-liter capacity, pointing to a consistent steering system architecture across the 30 series lineup.
  • The 20 TX (R1279) and the revised 20 LS/TS (R1277) share the same 1980-1984 production window and the same 1.1-liter capacity, placing them as the latest Renault 20 variants in the specifications.
