Additional Notes
- The Subaru Leone/L series (EU) power steering system holds 0.7 liter across all listed engine variants, spanning the 1.3, 1.6, 1.6 4WD, 1.8, 1.8 4WD, and 1.8 GT configurations. A capacity at this level is typical of a rack-and-pinion or recirculating ball power steering reservoir fill, rather than a full hydraulic system overhaul volume.
- All six configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the specified 0.7 liter capacity applies under standard operating circumstances rather than severe or heavy-duty service cycles.
- The 1.3-liter variant was produced over a shorter window of 1984-1986, compared to the 1.6 and 1.8 non-GT variants, which span the full 1984-1988 range. Despite the difference in production period, the power steering fluid capacity remains identical at 0.7 liter.
- The Leone 1.8 4WD entered the specification range later, from 1986-1988, while the 1.6 4WD covers the full 1984-1988 span. Both 4WD variants share the same 0.7 liter power steering capacity as their two-wheel-drive counterparts, indicating the drivetrain configuration had no effect on the steering system volume.
- The Leone 1.8 GT, produced from 1984-1986, carries the same 0.7 liter capacity as the standard 1.8 model despite its performance-oriented trim designation, suggesting no modification to the power steering hardware between those variants.
