Power Steering
Fluid
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
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
necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level up to
the mark.
