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

Turn the key off, while the engine compartment is still
warm, 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 within the HOT mark. If necessary,
add only enough fluid to bring the level within
the mark.

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.
