Power Steering System Fluid Exchange

Regular Power Steering Fluid Exchanges are Important

The most important step you can take in protecting your vehicle is to make sure you change the fluids in your vehicle as required. The power steering fluid is often the most overlooked but is the most important to maintain your steering power. Our power steering system fluid exchange service ensures that your power steering fluid meets or exceeds the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Some manufacturers recommend changing your fluids every two years, while others might agree on up to 75,000 or 100,000 miles (ca. 160,934 km). However, if you do quite a bit of driving, you might want to bring your vehicle in for a fluid exchange inspection. The longevity of your vehicle and its components depends on how often you service your vehicle.

What Happens if You Don’t Change Your Power Steering Fluid

You might be wondering if a power steering fluid exchange is necessary, and the answer is yes. Your vehicle has a hydraulic system that uses power steering fluid that works in synch with your power steering pump. The fluid keeps the pump lubricated and enables you to steer and turn your vehicle easily. Over time the fluid becomes contaminated with particle pieces and other foreign objects, which decreases your steering ability.
