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

To check the power steering fluid:

1. Turn the key off and let the

engine compartment
cool down.

2. Remove the engine cover. See

.

3. Wipe the cap and the top of the

reservoir clean.

4. Unscrew the cap and wipe the

dipstick with a clean rag.

5. Replace the cap and

completely tighten it.

6. Remove the cap again and

look at the fluid level on the
dipstick.

The fluid level should be
somewhere between the MAX and
MIN line on the dipstick in room
temperature. If the fluid is on or
below the MIN line, add fluid close
to the MAX line.
