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.
