What are the consequences of mixing power steering fluids?
1 Answers
Mixing power steering fluids can accelerate oil degradation, increase mechanical wear and tear, and potentially lead to mechanical failures. Below is relevant information about power steering fluid: 1. Function: Power steering assists drivers by automatically providing steering force during turns, 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. 2. Replacement interval: Automobile manufacturers generally do not strictly specify the replacement cycle for power steering fluid. However, to prevent the fluid from becoming overly dirty or deteriorating, it is recommended to replace the power steering fluid every 2 years or 30,000 kilometers.
