Additional Notes

  • The Triumph TR8 power steering system holds 0.6 liter of fluid, a relatively modest reservoir capacity consistent with the compact rack-and-pinion or recirculating-ball assist units common to sports cars of that era.
  • Both the carbureted TR8 (1978-1980) and the EFI variant (1980-1981) share an identical 0.6 liter power steering fluid capacity, indicating no change to the steering hardware between those two induction configurations.
  • The specified service action for both configurations is a fluid level check at every 1,000 km under normal use conditions, reflecting a relatively frequent inspection interval by modern standards and suggesting the system warranted close monitoring during early service life.
