  • Power Steering fluid change

    How often is this suppose to be changed? As far as I know it has never been changed.Should I do it or is it not meant to be changed?

    You don't really need to change it unless you change the pump or it smells/looks burned.

    If you want to change it when you change your tranny oil, then do it. It's just a ***** to change because you have to bleed the system.

        Are there any additives or conditioners I can put in there to help out the oil?

              Yep, you could drain it that way. Just be very sure not to get any dirt in there. When you have refilled it do the following:

              Jack up the front wheels of the car
              Remove the cap on the PS Fluid tank
              Turn the wheels stop to stop around 10 times
              Check level in PS Fluid tank
              Run the wheels stop to stop for another cycle of 10
              Check/top off fluid once more

              You are good to go!

                A great additive is made by "Lubegard" their power steering additive converts GM spec fluid to the more stringent Honda type fluid.Lubegard is known the world over for excellant additives that GM for one use & endorse.I changed my fluid for good measure & bought Lubegard P/S at Napa,Pep boys also have it...
