Additional Notes
- The Volvo FL-12 (EU) power steering system carries a capacity of 6 liters across all three engine variants available from 1995-1998, specifically the FL 12-340, FL 12-380, and FL 12-420, each equipped with the D12A engine.
- A 6-liter power steering fluid capacity is notably substantial, which is consistent with heavy-duty commercial truck steering systems that incorporate larger reservoirs and hydraulic circuits compared to passenger vehicles.
- All three configurations share identical 6-liter capacity figures under normal use conditions, meaning the specification applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
- The D12A engine designation is common across the FL 12-340, FL 12-380, and FL 12-420 variants, indicating the power steering system capacity remains consistent regardless of the output rating differences between those engine tunes.
