Roewe 550

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Roewe 550 power steering fluid capacity ranges from 0,87 to 1,25 liters. Service intervals include checks at 5000 km or 3 months and 10000 km or 6 months, alongside changes at 10000 km or 6 months, 20000 km, and 20000 km or 12 months. The data covers 8 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Roewe 550 power steering system appears across two distinct capacity values: 1.25 liters and 0.87 liters. The 1.25-liter figure applies to the naturally aspirated 1.8 DVVT (CSA7182AB/AC/MB/MC) and the turbocharged 1.8T (CSA7181AA/AB/AC/MA/MB/MC) configurations from 2010-2013, while the 0.87-liter figure applies to the CSA7181TD-series and later CSA718x-series engines.
  • The 0.87-liter capacity is notably lower than the 1.25-liter figure, reflecting a smaller reservoir or a more compact hydraulic circuit in the engines carrying that specification.
  • The 18K4C engine variant (2008-2013) shares the 1.25-liter capacity with the DVVT and 1.8T configurations of the same era, though no fluid change interval is listed for the 18K4C — only a check interval of every 10,000 km or 6 months under normal use conditions.
  • The 1.8 DVVT (CSA7182AB/AC/MB/MC, 2010-2013) and the 1.8T (CSA7181AA/AB/AC/MA/MB/MC, 2010-2013) share identical service schedules: a fluid check every 5,000 km or 3 months, and a fluid change every 20,000 km, both under normal use conditions.
  • For the CSA7181TDAB/MB engines (2008-2010), a first-change-only interval of 10,000 km or 6 months is specified alongside the standard normal-use change interval of 20,000 km or 12 months. The first-change interval reflects the practice of replacing fluid earlier in a system's life to remove manufacturing residues or break-in contaminants.
  • The same first-change-only structure applies to the 1.8T CSA7181TDMR/TDAR and CSA7187AC/ACV/MC/MCV engines from 2014 onward, where an initial change at 10,000 km or 6 months precedes the recurring normal-use interval of 20,000 km or 12 months.
  • The CSA7181TDAB/MB (2008-2010) and the later CSA7181TDMR/TDAR and CSA7187-series engines share the same 0.87-liter capacity and the same 20,000 km or 12-month normal change interval, despite spanning different model year ranges.
  • Among the configurations with a defined check interval, the 18K4C (2008-2013) has the least frequent check schedule at 10,000 km or 6 months, while the 1.8 DVVT and 1.8T (2010-2013) require checks twice as often, at 5,000 km or 3 months.
