It is not normal for power steering fluid to boil. Here are detailed explanations about power steering fluid: 1. Definition: Power steering fluid is a medium oil filled in the power steering system, which serves to transmit steering force and provide cushioning, making the steering wheel easier to turn. To prevent the power steering fluid from becoming too dirty or deteriorating, it should be replaced every two years. 2. Precautions: For vehicles equipped with hydraulic power steering systems, avoid turning the steering wheel to its extreme limit during use. Holding the steering wheel at full lock for extended periods can cause damage to the power steering pump. Deteriorated power steering fluid has reduced lubrication capability, which can lead to accelerated wear of mechanical components.
