Power Steering Fluid
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.
The level should be at the FULL COLD mark. Add enough fluid to bring
the level up
to
the mark.
A fluid
loss
in
this system could indicate
a
problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired.
What to
Add
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to
determine what kind
of
fluid to use.
See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”
in
the Index.
