Power Steering Fluid
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 FULL COLD mark.
If
nece.ssary, 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.
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.
