Im going to be changing a hose on my PS pump tomorrow, and I need to know how much fluid the thing will take.

Thanks

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

Fill it with Dex 3 until it reaches the full mark on the fill spout. Shouldn't take that much if you are just changing a hose. Less than a quart. You might have to start the engine and turn the wheel lock to lock a few times to cycle out all the air.

In my Haynes manual it says NOT to put it to full lock when you a getting the air out. Its probably a quart low right now anyway. So I picked up two qts. Ill just add it till its full.

Well, just cycle the wheel back and forth until the fluid pumps through. Doesn't have to be lock to lock.
