The general rule of thumb is to replace the power steering fluid every five years or when your vehicle hits the 50,000-mile mark. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Another indicator that the power steering fluid needs to be changed is a change in color. Inspect the power steering fluid. If it&#8217;s dark(it needs to be light and clear), then it&#8217;s time to change it. Also, if you notice any debris or sludge in the power steering fluid, flush and replace it immediately.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you hear a moaning, squealing, or whining noise while turning your steering wheel or if you notice increased resistance while turning, it could be a sign for you to check the power steering system or change the fluid. Never ignore these signs; a fault in the steering system can put your life at risk.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_check_power_steering_fluid\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">How to check power steering fluid\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Before you check the power steering fluid, make sure your vehicle is OFF.

If the fluid level is below the minimum line, add fluid to reach just below the full\/maximum line. To avoid any leaks, we recommend that you don&#8217;t overfill the reservoir. While you&#8217;re at it, you can check the state of the fluid and its color. As we mentioned earlier, if you find it dark and filled with contaminants, replace it immediately. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_power_steering_fluid_%E2%80%93_A_step-by-step_guide\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">How to change power steering fluid \u2013 A step-by-step guide\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Step 1\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Using a jack, lift the vehicle&#8217;s front and place the jack stands underneath to support it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Step 2\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">After locating the power steering fluid reservoir in your vehicle, open the cap to remove the fluid inside it.
