Power Steering Fluid - Chevrolet T-Series Owner's Manual

Power Steering Fluid

See Scheduled Maintenance on page 269 to
determine when to check your power steering fluid.
How To Check Power Steering Fluid
Check your power steering fluid only when
the engine is warm. If the engine is not warm, you
probably will not get an accurate reading.
206
If the fluid level is
between the MIN
(Minimum) and MAX
(Maximum) marks, you
have enough. If you
need fluid, add
only enough of the
proper fluid to bring it
into view in the
sight glass.
If your power steering fluid level is low, this can
cause the brake or service brake soon warning
lights to come on. If either light remains on
after you have added power steering fluid to the
proper level, then shut off the engine for
10 seconds. This should reset the brake warning
lights. If one or both lights stay on though,
see "Hydraulic Brake System Warning Lights"
under Brake System Warning Light on page 107
for more information.
What to Use
To determine what kind of fluid to use, see
Part C: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 295.
Notice: When adding power steering fluid or
making a complete fluid change, always
use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses
and seals.
