Shanghai Maple Automobile Hifeng

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Shanghai Maple Automobile Hifeng uses power steering fluid with a capacity of 1 liter. Service intervals include checking every 5000 km or 3 months and changing every 20000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

  • Change 20000 km
Hifeng 1.8 (2007- )
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 1 liter
  • Check 5000 km/ 3 months
  • Change 20000 km

Additional Notes

  • Both the Shanghai Maple Automobile Hifeng 1.5 and 1.8 share an identical power steering fluid capacity of 1 liter, a figure consistent with the modest reservoir volumes typical of compact passenger car hydraulic steering systems.
  • The 1-liter capacity applies to normal use conditions across both engine variants, meaning the figure reflects standard operating fill rather than a full system overhaul volume.
  • A check interval of every 5,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first, is specified for both configurations under normal use, pairing a distance-based threshold with a time-based one to account for vehicles that accumulate low mileage.
  • The change interval is set at 20,000 km for both the 1.5 and 1.8 variants, placing a full fluid replacement at four times the distance of each scheduled check.
  • The ratio of the check interval to the change interval means the power steering fluid is inspected approximately four times before a full replacement is due, a structure that allows condition monitoring without committing to early fluid changes.
