Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
All right. We're going to pop the hood right here. Pull that lever. There's a release right here. If you go to the center and to the right a little bit, right there. I'm going to grab the prop rod and put it right there.
Here's your power steering fluid. You can loosen the cap up to the left and pull it up. There, you can see, there's a cold section and a hot section. This fluid looks like it's on the low side. Yep, it's not even on the dipstick, so we'll have to add a little bit. As you can see, this is right there in the cold, about halfway, we topped it off a little bit - this vehicle requires transmission fluid. It requires at least DEX III transmission fluid. We put in DEX VI which is acceptable, and then we're all set.
