Low power steering fluid from factory

anyways im thinking about adding some kind of additive or just have the dealer take care of it.

 

...

 

Sell it

 

I'd call the police.

 

Uhhhhh are you basing this off of the line that is marked ? Cuz you can look on the side of the container and it has hot/cold min/max

 

Is your engine cold or hot ? If cold it’s where it should be .it looks normal .. even with it being hot

 

Friday thread.

 

OP, like others have said!

Was the engine warm or cold when you checked it?

 

Mine was low on my 2012 and my 2013. I called the Police

 

I did, and they said it was caused by the fuel pump.

 

lol dam this is worst then fb lol I was just saying since other people were complaining about other things similar to this so i was just saying plus there blue marker all over the place.

 

If you short an ounce or two on every vehicle made and on every fluid a vehicle takes, it potentially adds up to a ton of ''free'' money over the year.

I very seriously doubt low fluid levels over and over again is ''accidental.'' The fill equipment was calibrated to put in less then normal but still a safe level and between the lines so a warranty claim can't be generated.

If a vehicle takes 5 quarts and 6 ounces to fill properly and I just add 5 quarts on every fill, I save almost a quart every 5 vehicles and no one really is going to call me on it. There will be zero warranty claims out of it and I just saved a decent chunk of coin.

 

Lawyer up..... easy lawsuit.

 

yes it was hot
never mind lol its all good sorry for the post if anyone can please delete this post

 

You're kidding? Its at the right level

 

For future reference it is WS ATF in the power steering.

Also if you're inclined to look into more yourself
