Basic Car Care & Maintenance : Checking Car Power Steering Fluid

[HellerVali]

are you a mechanic?

We at Gerber know how important power steering is to prevent auto collisions. Great tips and advice, Jeff.

if you own certain cars the power steering level cant be seen on the side of the reservoir but you can use a pop sickle stick to measure it.

also some vehicles such as fords use ATF instead of PSF.

to flush the system a turkey baster can be used to gradually take fluid out, but dont go past the hose in the reservoir or you will let air into the system and cause problems

I put six cups of BBQ sauce in with my power steering fluid, and now I can't turn left! Dammit, I HATE EXPERT VILLAGE VIDEOS! :P

thats strange our power steering fluid lasted 15 years in our ford explorer i dont see why you gotta change it every so often.

@guitaristwagner i don't think its necessary...i've never changed the power steering fluid in a vehicle and neither have my parents. never had any problems.
