How do you know when to change your power steering fluid??
Below are three symptoms to tell if it's time to change out the power steering fluid:
Dark Fluid
After leaving your vehicle on for a couple of minutes, open the hood and draw out the dipstick. Most of the time, the power steering fluid should be red and clean. If the fluid looks dark, dingy, or has a charred smell, it usually means there's a problem. Worst case scenario, you may need to have the system flushed out and replaced with fresh power steering fluid.
Odd sounds
Filthy power steering fluid will make it more challenging for the pump to do its job. As the pump struggles to do its job, it will progressively make a louder and noisier sound. At this point, you should definitely make an appointment to get the fluid changed.
Stiff steering wheel
The power steering fluid is probably the culprit if your steering wheel is too firm and becomes tough to turn. A steering wheel that no longer allows smooth turns can be annoying and hazardous. The fluid is probably running low or dirty, so it's best to have it inspected
