Hey guys I just noticed that my power steering and my engine coolant is running a little low what should I use for the power steering and for the engine coolant. Can I just add it or does it require everything to be flushed. Thanks guys I just want to know this stuff so I don't got to ask again and know something so simple

just add. you can flush if you want to after a couple years but wouldnt worry otherwise

Coolant today has a life of 5 years or 50,000 miles, power steering fluid should be flushed every 3 years or 30,000 miles.

Well my coolant and power steering fluids bout a little less than half inch my stang gt is a 2008 with 20000 miles I just found it bizarre that Its below the low level and with that mileage. What do you guys use for those

Yea I no I just wanted to know

Engine coolant expands with heat. You probably checked it cold instead of hot like you normally do, or something of that sort. I wouldn´t worry about anything unless it turns chronic, especially at your mileage.

Steering fluid, I forget, I don´t think it changes much in regards to temperature.

My previous stang was 12 years old, 150,000 miles, and no fluid flushes. It was fine
