Additional Notes

  • The Volvo FL-6 Euro 3 power steering system holds 4.5 liters across the FL 6-180, FL 6-220, and FL 6-250 engine variants for the 2001-2006 model years.
  • A 4.5-liter capacity in a commercial vehicle power steering system is consistent with a full hydraulic reservoir and circuit fill, accounting for fluid held within the pump, reservoir, lines, and steering gear simultaneously.
  • The FL 6-180, FL 6-220, and FL 6-250 share an identical 4.5-liter power steering capacity, indicating no variation in the hydraulic circuit volume across the three engine output configurations.
  • The specified check interval for power steering fluid is every 6 months across all three variants, applied under normal use conditions.
  • A 6-month check interval for power steering fluid is a monitoring schedule rather than a full fluid replacement interval, meaning the fluid level and condition are inspected at that frequency rather than the fluid being drained and refilled.
