Dexron VI ATF is a low-viscosity, synthetic-blend automatic transmission fluid designed for use in modern GM vehicles. Dexron VI ATF provides improved oxidation resistance, shear stability, and low-temperature performance compared to Dexron III and Dexron II ATF. It is also compatible with all types of automatic transmissions, including those with electronic controls.
Here are the steps on how to change the power steering fluid in a Buick Lacrosse:
1. Park your vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood of your vehicle.
3. Locate the power steering fluid reservoir. The reservoir is typically located on the passenger side of the engine compartment. It is a clear or translucent plastic bottle with a black cap.
4. Remove the cap from the power steering fluid reservoir.
5. Use a turkey baster or a fluid extractor to remove the old power steering fluid from the reservoir.
6. Pour new Dexron VI ATF into the reservoir until it reaches the "Full" mark on the dipstick.
7. Replace the cap on the power steering fluid reservoir.
8. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.
9. Turn off the engine and check the power steering fluid level. If necessary, add more fluid to bring the level up to the "Full" mark.
Note: It is important to use the correct type of power steering fluid in your Buick Lacrosse. Using the wrong type of fluid can damage the power steering system.
