How To Check Power Steering Fluid
When the engine compartment is cool, 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 H or HOT mark.
When the engine compartment is cool, the level
should be at the C or FULL COLD mark.
What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule 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.
