Power Steering Fluid Capacity

[DRW1000]

Does anyone know what the capacity of the Power Steering system is?

My owner's manual just says to fill it to the line (Not much help there) which I thought was odd since they provide a volume for all of the other fluids. My hayns does not mention it either.

I wanted the changed my fluid and since I was alone I decided to try it a different way than what I think is the norm.

I sucked out all of the fluid in the resevoir and then refilled and ran the engine a bit while turning the wheels. I did this about 8 times, enough to have 2 litres of "old" fluid. I then filled it back up.

I just wonder approximately how much I changed (Percentage wise)

Per the shop manual, the capacity is 1 litre.

That sounds low but I suppose the shop manual knows

I put a magnefine filter in the return line...that goes into the resevoir.

Maybe it's just me, but I have a hard time seeing where the fluid is in the little cut-out on the reservoir....! Perhaps the plastic has clouded up over time, but I have to estimate where the fill line is by peering inside the reservoir....

It is not just you. I cleaned mine and tried shining a bright light and I still have a hard time seeing the level.

My '96 has a dipstick built into the cap.
