How to Change Power Steering Fluid. Learn how to quickly change your power steering fluid. If you dont jack the car up/turn the wheel, this will take you 10min max.

Duuude. So this video helped a LOT, BUT… My power steering cap sits under my forking alternator behind some hoses… Whichever team designed and arranged the Buick Lacrosse engine, steering system and engine bay should be lashed with a cat-o'-nine-tails made of hoses and hose clamps. And while they're at it, they should do the same to whomever designed the enclave oil filter orientation and location as well…
Since we don't change power steering fluid on a yearly basis, can we use the turkey baster on Thanksgiving.?
what no gloves? Say it ain't so Chris!
Chris you are very good god pless you amen
Is power steering corrosive like brake fluid is? If it somehow drips onto the paint or anywhere else is it going to damage it if u don’t clean it w/ brake cleaner immediately?
Beautiful tutorial.

“Power steering fluid change quick and easy†*cries in Dodge Charger ðŸ˜Â
Did u put the cap on when u sat the car on the ground to bleed it the rest of the way?
Thanks for the video ðŸ‘Â
Very clear guidance! ðŸ‘ÂThank you much. God bless you â¤ï¸ÂðŸ‘Â
It seems I got more black fluid out then what I needed to but in. But glad I'm doing it. Thx Chis
When I try turning the wheel more fluid doesn't fill the reservoir, and after putting in the new fluid the level doesn't change, even after driving and turning a lot. Is there something wrong?
I s there any specific of vehicles 🚗 our vehicle Maruti breeza
How many kilometres change power steering oil
I like the "Nutrition fact" on the bottle for your old fluid… lol
Can you add new fluid that isn’t the same type that’s currently in there?
Ayyy I got the same fluid :))))
DONE! Although I did some mess mainly caused by the wind, the process was really easy. Seeing the old black fluid makes me feel even happier for my work. The only thing that remained is recycling. Thanks a lot.
Challengers reservoir is hidden behind the front passenger wheel well so the wheel needs to be off and Mopar hydraulic power steering fluid is $35 a quart. Gonna get pricey to use this method. Rather just have the dealer flush it all out for $150. Damn Dodge making stuff complicated! ðŸ˜Â
YouTube University here I come..!
Another great video thanks from London England ðŸ‘Â💪😎
Mine has auto-flush .. on the daily driver 🙃
Could you still turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock with the fluid drained if the vehicle is not jacked up? Or is that not recommended?
I don't have a turkey baster so I used the top of a spray bottle. Worked but tool a bit longer lol
He said the steering fluid was all good and he was done but the very last shot of the steering fluid was dark brown and dirty. Is it OK for the steering fluid to be that brown and dirty though?
Its a same process for holden cruise??
What can I use other than a turkey baster? Apparently those are hard to come by in Australia.
can you still drive it f steering wheel is whining
In some cars like hondas, the power steering return line is easy to get to and disconnect. what you can do is remove the return hose from the fluid reservoir and attach a hose to the end of it and then attach the other end to a container on the ground. Have someone turn on the car and then start to pour new fluid into the power steering reservoir while watching the return line flush all the old stuff out. Keep going until you see clear fluid. Turn off the car and reconnect the return line to the reservoir and follow the same air bleed instructions as Chris did. I've done this many times all with great success and no problem. The only thing is that it can get a bit messy if you don't plug the reservoir after disconnecting the return hose so make sure you do that as well. And make sure you keep pouring new fluid constantly while it's flushing the old one so that it doesn't run dry.
Chris the man
Buying power steering fluid is like buying 50/50 antifreeze they run on transmission fluid also pulling it out from the pump doesn't get all the dirty fluid outta the system
Thanks for the sharing ðŸÂŒï¸Ââ€Â♂ï¸Â
Okay so I've just done this today, here's some tips (I've never done this before and a complete car novice).
My master cylinder had a filter insert which must stop objects going in and stops you draining any oil, this can be pulled out and then you can access it. Use a proper turkey baster or pump, I tried to use a trigger spray bottle and this didn't work so ended up using a syringe from my medicine cabinet. Don't turn the ignition or engine on when turning the wheels the first time as this will cause the pump to run dry, do it with the key in the first position so the steering lock is turned off, if possible.
Other than that it was quite simple, you'll be fine! I'm going to repeat the process again in a few days so I've cleaned it thoroughly.
You’ve got a trolley Jack why not just unscrew it and flush it that way? Seems like such a waste on fluid and also more steps, and it’s not even clean :/
