Additional Notes

  • All three configurations across the Volvo PV445/P210 Duett (EU) lineup share an identical power steering fluid capacity of 0.25 liter, which is a notably small volume consistent with a steering box design rather than a rack-and-pinion or hydraulic pump reservoir system.
  • A steering box, as noted across all rows, is a recirculating ball or worm-and-sector mechanism that typically holds only a small quantity of lubricating fluid, making the 0.25 liter figure an expected capacity for a unit of this type.
  • The P210 (1960-1962) and P210 (1962-1969) configurations carry the same 0.25 liter capacity and 5000 km check interval despite spanning different production periods, indicating no change in steering box specification between those two variants.
  • The PV445 (1957-1960) shares the same 0.25 liter capacity and 5000 km check interval as both P210 variants, placing all three configurations on an identical service schedule under normal use conditions.
  • The 5000 km check interval applies specifically under normal use conditions for all three configurations, meaning the steering box fluid level is to be inspected at each 5000 km interval rather than replaced on a fixed drain cycle.
