- The reservoir holds about a quart and that's what I sucked out with pump and topped it off with 1 quart of the Lube guard 23232 full synthetic power steering fluid it is the equivalent of Mopar MS-10838.
⚠️ Warning do not hold the steering wheel all the way to the left or right more than 5 seconds it could damage the power steering pump. Only turn the power steering wheel left to right not lock to lock is what Chilton's manual says about bleeding the power steering with cap off and the reservoir filled to the proper amount!! ⚠️
***Make sure the power steering reservoir is full before doing the right to left steering full lock with engine on.****
The power steering system including reservoir holds about 1 1/2 of power steering fluid. Is what I saw on a forum I can't find how much in the Chilton's manual. The guy also said to do a flush you will want at least two quarts. I guess that is if you only put a held quart through the lowing steering system with low side hose disconnected and reservoir plugged with a cap where the hose connects to.
I think if is just preventative routine maintenance draining the power steering fluid reservoir with a pump. Then refilling it from a bottle of new power steering fluid that is the correct one is the easy and best way to go about regular fluid service maintenance intervals.
🛑The power steering fluid should be on the full mark with engine cold and off.🛑
The Lube guard # 23232 is the equivalent of the Mopar hydrolic systems fluid MS-10838. Using the pump to suck the revoir dry got 75% of the old fluid out. It took the whole quart. You will want to turn the steering wheel to the left and right at least 5 times with reservoir cap off, and 5 more times after checking level with the truck off and making sure it is full and putting the cap back on the reservoir. The noise should subside after the 10 times of turning wheel some to the left and right and waiting a second or two, and the driving it a little bit at least with a few turns included. Then re-check the power steering fluid level and color with a paper towel. Then next day or next time before driving with engine cold. The new fluid is a light Amber color and clear.
It was like 2 oz over on the dip stick, that's fine it's not going to destroy power steering system. Also when the engine is up to operating temperature and warm the power steering fluid will expand some. Plus moving the steering wheel left to right a few times plus will suck the fluid level down some possibly and circulate the new fluid through the power steering system. As long as it is not under filled or way over filled and it has the right power steering fluid it should be fine and sound better after turning the steering wheel to the way right and left 5 times with the cap off. Plus topping off and five more times left to right, and regular driving until the next drain and fill. Just make sure the reservoir is full before turning the steering wheel to the left and right about five times. Then shut the truck off and re-check the fluid level. Add if needed then put the cap on and turn wheel another five times left to right, then re-check the fluid level with engine off before driving. Do a final check of the fluid level after a short drive, and the next time the engine engine is cold before driving. The new fluid should Amber colored and using a white paper towel or napkins to check the fluid level and color is recommended to see the fluid color easier.
If you call around to the dealerships you might find one that does the power steering fluid flushes.
I added some Lucas and mixed it got full all the way. You think I’ll be good
Not sure, they say to add the Lube Guard 23232, it's a compatible power steering fluid for the Mopar Power Steering fluid MS-10838. You might want to flush it out and use the Lube Guard 23232. Possibly you could drain the reservoir and top it off a couple of times. It's full synthetic oil so if the Lucas stuff you added is not, you already need to change all the fluid to the Mopar Power Steering Fluid MS-10838 or the Lube Guard 23232, both are full synthetic power steering fluids. Also they are gear oil colored not red colored .
If you don't have cash for the dealership to do a flush try watching Scotty Kilmere's video on power steering flushes and other videos and decide which method you want to use. It's been at least a few months or longer and the Lube Guard -23232 has worked perfectly in my Jeep.
The Lube Gaurd - 23232 is compatible with Mopar MS - 108383 which they have stopped making and is hard to find. If you pump the old fluid out of the reservoir and add the new fluid. Then with the reservoir full and cap back on cycle the power steering by turning the steering wheel side to side. Then shut the engine off and repeat the same process and use three quarts of the power steering fluid after pumping the old power steering fluid out with the engine off and topping the power steering reservoir back up to full each time leaving the third quart in the reservoir it should have flushed out most of the old fluid and Lucas oil you added. Or try taking the line off the out flow side and topping the reservoir off constantly with a person there to shut vehicle off if you do so you don't get air into the power steering system. Or try the dealership or shops that do power steering fluid flushes.
The whole power steering system on the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee's holds around 1 1/2 quarts of power steering fluid.
The power steering fluid reservoir holds about one quarts exactly of power steering fluid.
