What is Power Steering Flush?

A power steering flush involves completely removing the old fluid from the system and replacing it with new fluid. This process helps clear out any contaminants and ensures that the system operates at optimal performance. It's a more thorough procedure compared to a simple top-up.

When to Top-Up Power Steering Fluid?

Top-up is the process of adding power steering fluid to maintain the correct level. You should consider topping up if:

• Fluid levels are below the recommended mark.
• You notice difficulty in steering.
• There are no signs of leaks.

• Fluid appears dark or dirty.
