Additional Notes

  • All six configurations of the Volvo S60 134 power steering system share a uniform fluid capacity of 1.2 liters, which is consistent with a hydraulic rack-and-pinion reservoir fill rather than a full system overhaul volume.
  • The 1.2-liter figure applies equally to both the 2.5 T5 AWD and the 3.0 T6 AWD engine variants, indicating no capacity difference between the two powertrains for this system.
  • Model year ranges 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 carry a check interval of 7,500 miles or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • Starting with the 2012-2016 range, the check interval under normal use conditions increases to 10,000 miles or 12 months, representing a longer mileage threshold between inspections compared to the earlier ranges.
  • The shift from a 7,500-mile to a 10,000-mile check interval occurs at the same model year boundary for both the 2.5 T5 AWD and the 3.0 T6 AWD, meaning the interval change is not engine-specific.
  • All intervals listed are classified under normal use conditions, meaning no separate severe-use interval is specified for any of the six configurations.
  • The 12-month time component of the check interval remains constant across all configurations and model year ranges, regardless of the mileage threshold in effect.
