When to Check Power Steering Fluid
It is not necessary
to
regularly check power steering
fluid unless
you
suspect there is a leak in the system
or
you
hear an unusual noise. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected
and repaired.
How
To
Check Power Steering Fluid
When the engine compartment is cool, wipe the
cap
and
the top
of
the
reservoir clean, then unscrew the cap and
wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap and
completely tighten it. Then remove the cap again and
look at the fluid level
on
the dipstick.
The level should be at the
“C”
mark.
If
necessary, add
only enough fluid to bring the level up
to
the mark.
What to Use
To
determine what kind
of
fluid
to
use,
see
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
Always
use
the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
