Checking and changing power steering fluid

A power steering fluid is usually not changed but only topped up, provided that the construction of the system allows easy determination of the fluid's level. When this is not the case, the level of the fluid can be determined in a professional car service center.
Nevertheless, some car manufacturers recommend changing the power steering fluid during a full car service, so their instructions should be followed. As this procedure requires the use of special tools, it is best to leave it to professional service technicians.
