Power Steering Fluid Question

[Blitzinger]

I'm working on hooking up a battery charging system and noticed the power steering fluid is just above the "Min". I have a 22' gladiator with just under 14k miles. Is this normal?

Normal. Not unheard of for it to settle in service and need a few ounces to top off. Just make sure you use the correct fluid for electric power steering pumps.

I would also add that there is no service interval for the power steering fluid. I am a fan of the Turkey Baster method (or other suitable extraction device) of sucking out as much of the old fluid in the reservoir, topping off with fresh fluid and doing that a couple more times in the coming weeks.

Just to add on - mine came brand new reading just a fudge under the "min" line. Topped it off, no issues since.

It’s not a big problem to change this fluid. All lines out of pump and gear
