Additional Notes
- The Renault Frégate (EU) power steering fluid capacity is 0.3 liter across all four configurations spanning the 1951-1960 production period, with each specification tied to a steering box application under normal use conditions.
- A 0.3 liter figure represents a relatively small service fill volume, consistent with the capacity of a recirculating-ball or worm-and-sector steering box rather than a rack-and-pinion hydraulic system, which typically holds more fluid.
- The R1100 2.0-liter variant covering 1951-1956 shares the same 0.3 liter steering box capacity as the later R1101 and R1102 2.1-liter variants introduced from 1955-1957, indicating no capacity change accompanied the displacement increase.
- The Frégate / Domaine 2.1 R1103 (1957-1960) and the Frégate Transfluide R1104 (1958-1960) both carry the 0.3 liter steering box specification under normal use, meaning the Domaine wagon body variant and the Transfluide automatic transmission variant did not alter the steering system fluid requirement.
- The R1101 and R1102 variants (1955-1957) represent a transitional period overlapping with both the earlier R1100 (1951-1956) and the later R1103 (1957-1960), yet the steering box capacity remained at 0.3 liter throughout, reflecting continuity in the steering hardware across those generations.
