LDV CUB

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

LDV CUB requires power steering fluid with a capacity of 1 liter. Service intervals include checks at 10000 km/6 months or 20000 km/12 months, and a change at 160000 km/60 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The LDV Cub power steering system holds 1 liter of fluid across all three configurations covered in the 1995-2001 period, spanning both the 1.6 16V petrol and 2.3 Diesel variants.
  • The 1.6 16V (1995-1998) carries only a capacity figure of 1 liter under normal use conditions, with no interval data listed alongside it.
  • The 2.3 Diesel (1995-1997) pairs the 1-liter capacity with a check interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use, whichever comes first.
  • The 2.3 Diesel (1998-2001) shortens the check interval to 10,000 km or 6 months compared to the earlier 2.3 Diesel, while retaining the same 1-liter capacity.
  • A fluid change interval of 60 months or 160,000 km appears only in the 2.3 Diesel (1998-2001) specification, making it the sole configuration with a defined replacement schedule among the three.
  • The 160,000 km change threshold in the 2.3 Diesel (1998-2001) represents a high-mileage marker, indicating the power steering fluid is treated as a long-life service item rather than a routine consumable.
  • The 60-month change interval in the 2.3 Diesel (1998-2001) means fluid age alone can trigger a replacement before the mileage threshold is reached, which is relevant for lower-mileage vehicles accumulating calendar time.
