Here's why:
* Fluid type depends on the specific power steering system: Kia Sedona vans from that year may have either hydraulic or electric power steering.
* Incorrect fluid can damage your system: Using the wrong type of fluid can lead to problems like leaks, reduced steering performance, or even damage to the steering components.
To determine the correct fluid for your van, you need to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source for fluid specifications.
2. Check the power steering reservoir: The reservoir often has a label indicating the type of fluid required.
3. Contact a Kia dealership or qualified mechanic: They can help you identify the correct fluid for your vehicle.
Important note: Always use the recommended fluid type and avoid mixing different fluids.
