How do I check my power steering fluid?

With power steering fluid, there are 2 main ways to check the fluid depending on what kind of vehicle you have. If your vehicle has a clear bottle, there will be a minimum and maximum line. When the vehicle is warm, the fluid should be between these two lines. If it is below the minimum, power steering fluid should be added. If the vehicle has a dipstick for the power steering fluid, this should be used to determine if the fluid is full. When the vehicle is warm and off, you should remove the power steering fluid dipstick, wipe it off, reinsert the stick, pull it out, and check where it falls on the stick. If it is below the minimum line, power steering fluid should be added. 59 Auto Repair checks power steering fluid as part of our maintenance general inspection.
