Video Description

The video above shows you the steps needed to check the power steering fluid level in your 2008 Mazda CX-7. Checking the power steering fluid level in your CX-7 is relatively easy and should be done once a month or if you are experienced difficulty turning the wheel or steering your CX-7. Your CX-7 should be parked on a level surface and your 2.3 liter engine should be cold to the touch.

If the power steering fluid level in your CX-7 is low, fill it up to the maximum line with power steering fluid and check it again in a week to determine if you have a leak. The power steering fluid reservoir will typically have a symbol of a steering wheel on the cap. Likewise, if your CX-7 has electric power steering, you may see a steering wheel picture with an explanation point next to it on your dashboard to indicate power steering problems.
