The method for changing power steering fluid is: 1. Start the car and thoroughly remove the old fluid; 2. Pour in new power steering fluid and turn the steering wheel back and forth to allow the new fluid to penetrate, which also serves a cleaning purpose; 3. Remove all fluid from the power steering reservoir, then pour in new fluid and repeat step 2 by turning the steering wheel again; 4. Remove the fluid once more and repeat the previous step. The function of power steering fluid is to reduce the driver's steering effort. Symptoms of insufficient power steering fluid in a car include: 1. Unusual noises from the power steering pump when turning the wheel; 2. Power steering failure, making the steering wheel feel heavier.
