Notice: When adding fluid or making a complete fluid change, always use a power
steering fluid meeting GM Spec. No. 9985010 or equivalent. Fluid for cold
climates is also available through GM Dealerships; refer to Specifications
for further information. Failure to use the proper power steering fluid can
cause power steering hose and seal damage, fluid leaks and pump failure.
- The power steering fluid level is indicated either by marks on a see-through fluid reservoir or by marks on a fluid level indicator on the fluid reservoir cap.
- If the fluid is warmed up to 66°C (150°F), the fluid level should be between the MAX and MIN marks. Add fluid if necessary.
- If the fluid is cool, 21°C (70°F), the fluid level should be at the MIN mark. Add fluid if necessary.
