Power Steering Fluid

The power steering fluid reservoir is located to the right

of the windshield washer fluid reservoir, at the back of

the engine compartment.

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.

When the engine compartment is hot, the level should be

at the “H” mark. When it’s cold, the level should be at

the “C” mark. If the fluid is at the ADD mark, you

should add fluid.

What to Use

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.
