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 between the
ADD
and FULL marks.
If necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level up
to the proper range.
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
tluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
