Oil & Fluid Change

When Do I Need to Replace the Power Steering Fluid?

Power steering fluid failure can result from various factors, including contamination, overheating, moisture accumulation, ageing, and leaks. Addressing these causes through proper maintenance and timely fluid replacement is crucial to ensuring the continued reliability and performance of a vehicle’s power steering system. Here are a few signs that indicate the need for power steering fluid replacement:

Dust & Debris

Contaminants and debris in the steering fluid can lead to failure. Over time, foreign particles such as dirt and dust can infiltrate the system, causing wear on crucial components like the power steering pump and steering gear.

This friction accelerates fluid breakdown and damages seals and gaskets, potentially leading to leaks and power steering replacement. Regular fluid replacement and using a high-quality filter can mitigate this issue.

Overheating

Excessive heat can spoil the power steering fluid. Continuous operation under high temperatures, often caused by severe driving conditions or a malfunctioning cooling system, can cause the fluid to break down, lose its lubricating properties, and become less effective in assisting with steering. Proper maintenance of cooling components and avoiding prolonged heavy-duty usage can prevent overheating-related fluid failure.

Moisture Accumulation

Moisture infiltration into the power steering system can be harmful. Moisture can lead to the formation of rust and corrosion within the system, causing damage to internal components like the pump and steering rack. Regular inspection and maintenance, especially in humid climates, can help prevent moisture-related fluid degradation.

Age & Oxidation

Power steering fluid ages and oxidises over time, diminishing its lubricating and hydraulic properties. This natural ageing process can result in decreased performance and increased friction within the system. Routine fluid replacement, as the vehicle manufacturer recommends, is essential to combat oxidation-related fluid failure.

This natural ageing process can result in decreased performance and increased friction within the system. Routine fluid replacement, as the vehicle manufacturer recommends, is essential to combat oxidation-related fluid failure.

Steering Oil Leaks

Leaks in the power steering system seals and hoses can deplete fluid levels, causing a drop in hydraulic pressure. This, in turn, reduces the system's effectiveness in assisting with steering, leading to increased effort required to turn the wheel. Regular inspection and prompt repair of any leaks are essential to prevent steering fluid loss. If there is a power steering fluid leak, call LMS immediately for power steering repairs & replacement.

How Can I Check the Power Steering Fluid?

Do you want to check the power steering fluid level yourself? Don’t worry; you can do it quickly and proficiently by checking the fluid level mark on the side of the container. You can find this fluid container under your car’s bonnet. If the liquid level is low in the container, be sure to top it up as soon as possible.

If you have recently replaced an electrical component or power steering, top up the fluid at that time. Even though replacing the power steering fluid is easy, it is still recommended that you bring your car to the LMS garage for efficient power steering fluid replacement. Our power steering specialists have the right tools and machines to refill or top up the fluid in the power steering fluid pump professionally.

How Often Do I Need Power Steering Oil Replacement?

The replacement of power steering fluid entirely depends on the condition of your car’s power steering system. Moreover, how and where you drive your vehicle also matters for power steering fluid replacement interval. On average, replacing the power steering fluid after every 40,000 or 80,000 miles is recommended. If your power steering is stiff or not working correctly, consider changing the steering oil before these miles.
