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.
The level should be at the C or COLD mark. If
necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level up to
the mark.
3100 Engine
3800 or 3800 Supercharged Engine
When the engine compartment is hot, the level should be
at the H or HOT mark. When it’s cold, the level should
be at the C or COLD 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.
