Subaru Forester, SG (EU)

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Subaru Forester, SG (EU) power steering fluid capacity is 0,7 liter. Service intervals consist of 24 months or 30000 km. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
Forester 2.0 (2002-2005)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,7 liter
  • Check 24 months/ 30000 km
Forester 2.0 T (2002-2005)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,7 liter
  • Check 24 months/ 30000 km

Additional Notes

  • Both the Forester 2.0 and Forester 2.0 T share an identical power steering fluid capacity of 0.7 liter, indicating a system fill volume consistent across the naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants within the 2002-2005 SG generation.
  • The Subaru Forester SG (EU) power steering fluid capacity of 0.7 liter represents a service fill figure, reflecting the volume held within the reservoir and hydraulic circuit under normal operating conditions rather than a full system overhaul quantity.
  • The specified check interval of 24 months or 30,000 km applies under normal use conditions for both the 2.0 and 2.0 T variants, meaning the interval is tied to routine inspection rather than a full fluid replacement cycle.
  • The 30,000 km threshold in the check interval reflects a distance-based condition that runs alongside the 24-month time-based condition, with service due whichever limit is reached first.
  • The alignment of specifications between the 2.0 and 2.0 T across the full 2002-2005 model year span suggests the power steering hardware configuration was not differentiated between the two engine variants in the EU-market SG Forester.
