What Is Power Steering Fluid?
Power steering fluid is a fluid that helps to control the direction of a car’s wheels. It is used in cars with power steering, which are usually found on larger vehicles.
Power steering fluid is important because it helps to keep the car’s wheels from turning too much. If the wheels turn too much, it can cause instability and difficulty driving. Power steering fluid also helps to ensure that the car stays in its lane.
Where is Power Steering Fluid Located on a Pontiac G6?
If you are having trouble with your Pontiac G6 power steering, it may be because the fluid has been low or missing for a while. You can check to see where the power steering fluid is located on a Pontiac G6 by following these steps:
Open the hood of your car and locate the reservoir that holds the power steering fluid. The reservoir may be located on the driver’s side or passenger’s side of the engine block.
Look inside the reservoir to see if there is any visible oil or liquid. If there is no visible oil or liquid, then the reservoir probably needs to be replaced. In most cases, this will only require a few drops of power steering fluid to replace it.
How to Replace Power Steering Fluid on a Pontiac G6
If your Pontiac G6 feels boggy or loses power when you slide your hand across the steering wheel, it may be time to replace the power steering fluid. The Pontiac G6 power steering system uses a multi-lubricant system that helps to keep the steering gear and shafts moving smoothly.
To replace the power steering fluid on a Pontiac G6, use these steps:
1. Park the car in a safe place. Do not drive the car if you have replaced any fluids recently.
2. Open the hood and locate the power steering reservoir. It is located behind the front grille on most Pontiac G6 models.
3. Use a pour spout to fill the reservoir with fluid until it is full (about 3 quarts). Be sure to use only GM-approved power steering fluid!
4. Close the hood and start the car. The engine should idle at a low speed while the fluid flows through the system. The car should feel stable and responsive when you steer it.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 as needed, adding more fluid as necessary (the reservoir will get filled up quicker than normal due to high demand).
