How to Check Power Steering Fluid
Turn the key off, let the engine compartment cool
down, 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.
When the 3400 V6 engine compartment is hot, the level
should be at the H mark. When it’s cold, the level should
be at the C mark. If the fluid is at the ADD mark, you
should add fluid.
For the 3800 V6 engine, the level should be at the HOT
mark when the engine compartment is hot. If the fluid is
at the ADD mark, you should add fluid.
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.

What to Use
When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read
the manufacturer’s instructions before use. If you will be
operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature
may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient
protection against freezing. See “Engine Compartment
Overview” in the Index for reservoir location.
