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.
When the engine compartment
is
hot,
the
level should be
at the MAX mark.
When the engine
compartment
is
cool,
the level should be at
the MIN mark.
What to
Use

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.
