Power Steering Fluid: Testing and Inspection
STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL CHECKINGWARNING: FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF TO PREVENT INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS.
The fluid level can be read through the exterior of the power steering fluid reservoir. The reservoir exterior is marked "FILL RANGE" and "ADD." The fluid shows through the reservoir indicating its level. The fluid level should be within the "FILL RANGE" when the fluid is at normal ambient temperature, approximately 21°C to 27°C (70°F to 80°F).
Before removing the power steering filler cap, wipe the reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Remove the cap and fill as necessary. Do not overfill the power steering system. Use only Mopers ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid.
