Power Steering Fluid Flush
Original English source. Consult suppliers for current product information.
Power steering fluid acts as a hydraulic fluid to build up pressure on the wheels to make it easier for you to steer your car. The power steering pump is driven by the engine belts and adjusts the power steering fluid pressure in accordance to driver inputs. Like many other engine fluids, power steering fluid gets dirty and breaks down over time.
Power steering fluid is typically red or light brown when new, however, it often turns very dark, or even black when it gets old and dirty. Sometimes drivers will think they have an oil leak, when it is actually power steering fluid that is leaking. Since the fluid is highly pressurized, it is important to change it periodically, otherwise, you risk unnecessary wear on your power steering fluid pump, power steering pressure hoses and other steering components.
We recommend flushing the power steering fluid periodically to get fresh fluid in the power steering system that does not have water molecules and dirt trapped in it. Many new cars now have electric power steering systems, which does not require any power steering fluid and are virtually maintenance free.

转向助力油作为一种液压油,用于在车轮上建立压力,使您更容易操控车辆的方向。 转向助力泵由发动机皮带驱动,根据驾驶员的操作调整转向助力油的压力。 和许多其他发动机油液一样,转向助力油会随着时间推移而变脏并老化。
转向助力油新时通常呈红色或浅棕色,但随着时间推移变脏,往往会变得非常深,甚至呈黑色。 有时司机会觉得有机油泄漏,实际上可能是转向助力油在泄漏。 由于该液体处于高压状态,因此需要定期更换,否则可能会导致转向助力油泵、转向助力油压力软管及其他转向部件不必要的磨损。
我们建议定期冲洗转向助力油,以确保转向助力系统中充满新鲜的转向助力油,其中不含有水分和杂质。 许多新款汽车现在都配备了电动助力转向系统,无需使用转向助力油,几乎无需维护。
