Power Steering Fluid Replacement

CAUTION:
Always use genuine Pentosin CHF202. Using other type of power steering fluid or ATF can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

2. Connect a tube of suitable diameter to the disconnected return hose, and put the hose end in a suitable container.
3. Jack up the front wheels and turn the steering wheel from the lock to lock until fluid stops running out of the tube.
4. Reconnect the return hose to reservoir.
5. Fill the reservoir with the power steering fluid and then bleed the power steering system.
