Power Steering Fluid

The power steering fluid
reservoir is located near
the front of the engine
compartment, behind
the radiator. See Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 324 for
reservoir location.

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

1. Turn the key off and let the engine

compartment cool down.

2. Wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean.

3. Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a

clean rag.

4. Replace the cap and completely tighten it.

5. Then remove the cap again and look at

the fluid level on the dipstick.

The level should be between the ADD and FULL
marks. If necessary, add only enough fluid to
bring the level up to the proper range.

What to Use

To determine what kind of fluid to use, see
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 447.
Always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the
proper fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses
and seals.
