How many liters of power steering fluid should be added when replacing it in a Teana?

When replacing the power steering fluid in a Teana, 1L is sufficient. Precautions for using power steering fluid: Power steering fluid contains carcinogenic substances. If it comes into contact with the skin, it should be washed off immediately. Power steering fluid is corrosive and may cause paint to lose its gloss and rubber components to age. If contaminated, it should be cleaned promptly. The role of power steering fluid: Power steering is a new technology in automobiles that enhances comfort. It automatically provides steering force when the driver turns the wheel, thereby reducing the driver's steering effort. Power steering fluid is a medium oil added to the power steering system, serving to transmit steering force and provide cushioning.
As a friend who frequently works on car repairs, I've handled the power steering fluid replacement for the Teana multiple times. The typical refill amount ranges between 0.5 to 0.7 liters. During actual operation, first drain or thoroughly extract the old fluid, then slowly add new fluid until reaching the MAX line on the reservoir and stop. The Teana's capacity is relatively fixed, with 0.6 liters being the safest amount. Overfilling may cause fluid overflow or damage the power steering pump, while underfilling will make steering heavier. I recommend changing it every two years using dedicated power steering fluid to prevent system clogging. After replacement, start the engine and turn the steering wheel to purge air bubbles and top up fluid. Maintaining the steering system properly ensures safer driving and avoids costly major repairs. Don't rely on guesswork - the owner's manual is the gold standard, remember to check the year-specific version.
