Overview
The Lucas Oil power steering fluid with conditioner, item 10442, comes in a 16 oz. bottle. It is designed for power steering systems, and Lucas describes its conditioner as helping seals stay conditioned to prevent leaks while the fluid keeps steering smooth and quiet.
It is made for petroleum or synthetic power steering systems. As a fluid, it applies to any model year or chassis code that uses those systems.
Key features
- Formulated with a Lucas conditioner additive package
- It is formulated for smooth, quiet steering operation.
- Improves steering response and feel
- Stops fading and foaming in high performance situations
- The conditioner additive package helps protect pumps, rack and pinion gears, seals, cylinders and valves.
Fluid service basics
Power steering fluid carries heat away from the pump and rack and keeps the seals moving freely. Checking the level is simple: look at the reservoir with the engine warm and the wheels centered, then compare the level against the marks. Keeping the fluid clean matters as much as keeping it full, because grit and foam can wear the pump and the rack over time.
Fluid that turns dark, smells burnt or carries metal debris is a sign the system needs service. A whining noise when turning, or a steering wheel that feels stiff or jumpy, can point to low or aerated fluid. Avoid mixing fluid types unless the owner’s manual allows it, and wipe the reservoir cap clean before opening it to keep dirt out.
- Check the level with the engine warm
- Avoid mixing fluid types
- Watch for whining or foam in the reservoir
