What is power steering oil?
1 Answers
Power steering oil is a special fluid used in the car's power steering pump. Through hydraulic action, it can make the steering wheel lighter, similar to automatic transmission fluid, brake fluid, and shock absorber fluid. To prevent the power steering oil from becoming dirty or deteriorating, it should be replaced every 2 years or 30,000 kilometers. Precautions for using power steering oil include: 1. Power steering oil contains carcinogenic substances; if it comes into contact with the skin, it should be washed off immediately. 2. For cars equipped with hydraulic power steering systems, avoid holding the steering wheel at full lock for extended periods, as this can burn out the power steering pump over time.
