Power steering fluid is used as a hydraulic fluid, where the turning of the steering wheel is transmitted to the wheels by the fluid. As well as the hydraulic action, the fluid lubricates the system. Steering fluids need to be able to deal with low temperatures and remain fluid, while not breaking down when hot.
There are two main types of power steering fluid, ATF and CHF. ATF (automatic Transmission Fluid) tends to be red and is the most common type. CHF (Central Hydraulic Fluid) is usually pale green or yellow, a little thinner than ATF, and tends to be in more modern steering systems.
Your steering wheel fluid reservoir level should be checked every 3 to 6 months or 12,000 miles, depending on which comes first, and topped up as necessary.
Not all fluids are compatible with every car, so be sure to check your handbook or ask for a personalised recommendation. You can also use our handy lookup tool above to find power steering fluid by registration.
No, brake fluid is a glycol-based hydraulic fluid designed to handle high pressure and temperatures in the braking system, while power steering fluid is typically a type of hydraulic oil used to lubricate and transmit power in the steering system. Using the wrong fluid in either system can cause damage or failure, so always check your vehicle’s manual for the correct specification.
We recommend changing your power steering fluid around every four years or every 70,000–90,000 miles, but check your handbook as it can vary. There may also be signs that your fluid levels need topping up earlier, including:
Yes, you can top-up or replace your power steering oil. If you're replacing the fluid, you'll need a pump, siphon, or suction syringe to remove the old fluid before replacing it with new. Be sure to use the correct type of fluid for your vehicle. Your owner's manual may list a particular type or specification of fluid — or contact us, and we can find out for you.
