Where to add power steering fluid?

The power steering fluid reservoir is usually a small, clear or translucent plastic container with markings indicating the minimum and maximum fill levels. It's often located under the hood, near the power steering pump. Look for a reservoir with a label indicating "Power Steering Fluid" or a similar designation.

The exact location varies greatly by vehicle make and model. Your owner's manual is the best resource to find the precise location of your power steering fluid reservoir. The manual will also have diagrams and instructions.

Do not add fluid blindly. Always check the fluid level first, and only add fluid if it's below the minimum line. Using the wrong type of fluid can damage your power steering system. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct type of fluid to use.
