Help keep your car as responsive as you are by maintaining proper power steering fluid levels
Sure you can take it in for a $19 lube, but are you OK with a stripped oil pan and cheap parts in return?
The rear wiper that you forgot you had until it streaks horrifically on a rainy day? Change it now!

The video above shows you the steps needed to check the power steering fluid level in your 1996 GMC C1500 Suburban. Checking the power steering fluid level in your C1500 Suburban is relatively easy and should be done once a month or if you are experienced difficulty turning the wheel or steering your C1500 Suburban. Your C1500 Suburban should be parked on a level surface and your 5.7 liter engine should be cold to the touch.
If the power steering fluid level in your C1500 Suburban is low, fill it up to the maximum line with power steering fluid and check it again in a week to determine if you have a leak. The power steering fluid reservoir will typically have a symbol of a steering wheel on the cap. Likewise, if your C1500 Suburban has electric power steering, you may see a steering wheel picture with an explanation point next to it on your dashboard to indicate power steering problems.
