Steering Fluid 101 – The Importance of Fresh Fluid
There are those vehicle-maintenance procedures that are simple to initiate, even if you're not mechanically inclined.
With power-steering fluid, it's very easy to discern if you need fresh fluid. And once you've tackled this, that's one more skill added to your skillset for a more confident approach to driving past Manchester.
So, briefly browse below the following steps to acquiring knowledge of power-steering fluid.
Fluid Inspection
After lifting the hood, find the reservoir denoting "power-steering fluid."
While there might not be a dipstick to measure fluid levels, the outer surface of the reservoir is probably etched with leveling lines – from empty to full. You may then quickly identify wherever the fluid lies within these levels.
Next, open the cap to the reservoir and note the color of the fluid. Fresh fluid will be red, while darkened fluid means overheating occurred. This dark, degraded fluid is beyond robustness and good use.
Floating particles and flakes also signal time for fresh fluid after a fluid flushing performed at Keene Mitsubishi near Amherst, MA.
Steering Issues
If you've noted issues with steering as with slow responses or stiffness, it's likely the fluid level is well too low to be coursing through the steering pump.
A simple fix is to fill steering fluid to the appropriate level, should remaining fluid still be red in color.
