Additional Notes

  • Across all listed Suzuki Swift II, EA, MA configurations spanning 1989-2003, the power steering fluid system capacity is uniformly 0.7 liter, a figure consistent with the compact rack-and-pinion or recirculating ball power steering systems typical of small-displacement vehicles in this class.
  • The 0.7 liter capacity represents a service fill volume, meaning the quantity of fluid held within the reservoir and circulating circuit under normal operating conditions rather than a full system overhaul displacement.
  • Five of the six listed configurations, covering the 1.0 SF310 (1989-1993), the 1.3 16V GTi SF413 (1989-1997), the 1.3 SF413 (1989-1993), the 1.6 SF416 (1989-1997), and the 1.6 4x4 SF416 (1991-1997), share an identical normal-use check interval of 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first.
  • The 10,000 km / 6-month check interval is a condition-monitoring schedule rather than a fluid replacement interval, meaning the fluid level and condition are inspected at each occurrence without a mandatory drain and refill being specified.
  • The 1.3 16V SF413 covering 2001-2003 carries a notably extended check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, compared to the 10,000 km / 6-month schedule applied to earlier configurations sharing the same SF413 chassis code.
  • The extended 15,000 km / 12-month interval on the 2001-2003 SF413 represents a 50 percent increase in both distance and time thresholds relative to the earlier SF413 variants, reflecting a longer service cycle despite the identical 0.7 liter capacity.
  • The 1.6 4x4 SF416 (1991-1997) shares the same 0.7 liter capacity and 10,000 km / 6-month check interval as the two-wheel-drive 1.6 SF416 (1989-1997), indicating no additional power steering fluid demand attributable to the four-wheel-drive drivetrain configuration in these specifications.
  • All six configurations are listed exclusively under normal use conditions, with the check intervals applying to standard operating environments as opposed to severe-duty cycles such as frequent towing, extreme temperatures, or predominantly short-trip driving.
