Additional Notes

  • The Subaru Baja (USA / CAN) carries a power steering fluid capacity of 0.7 liter across all listed configurations, covering both the 2.5i and 2.5 Turbo engine variants in both the USA and CAN markets.
  • The 0.7 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid the power steering system holds during a standard fluid service rather than a full component overhaul.
  • Under normal use conditions, the power steering fluid check interval for all listed configurations is set at 15,000 miles or 15 months, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 0.7 liter capacity applies, but the check interval is reduced to 7,500 miles or 8 months, cutting both the mileage and time thresholds roughly in half compared to normal use.
  • The 2.5i variant spans model years 2002-2005 in both the USA and CAN markets, while the 2.5 Turbo variant covers 2004-2006, meaning the two engine configurations share an overlapping service period of 2004-2005.
  • Despite the difference in engine type between the naturally aspirated 2.5i and the turbocharged 2.5 Turbo, the power steering fluid capacity of 0.7 liter remains identical, indicating the steering system hardware is consistent across both powertrains.
  • The USA and CAN market versions of each engine variant share identical capacity and interval specifications, with no regional differentiation in power steering service requirements across any of the listed rows.
