Jeep Power Steering Oil

Throughout our dealings with the Jeep product we have come across two common issues that seem to arise surrounding the Jeep power steering system and the fluid that is used in them. To date we have only experienced these two hurdles on the Grand Cherokee however we do know that the fluid in question is compatible across several Jeep models.
 
Jeep Power steering fluid The first issue is the fluid level. Several customers have either called or popped into our workshops to express concern over the fluid level in the Jeeps power steering system after it has recently been serviced elsewhere. Many prospects reporting that the dealer informed them that the level needs to remain below the minimum mark. This is total bollocks. What is more likely is back peddling after a service was carried out and fluids not checked or topped up. Jeep spent millions of dollars developing this vehicle and a significant chunk of that cash was spent on the power steering system, its electric pump and the specific fluid that it needs. There is no way they just happened to accidentally get the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir incorrect. Keep your fluid between the minimum and maximum marks at all times and any one who says otherwise needs a good forehead slap.
 
This brings us to our next issue, the fluid required. In the grand Cherokee only two fluids are suitable. The genuine Jeep product or the Penrrite LDAS (its a black bottle with pink lettering) Nothing else will work. ATF Dextron or any other fluid will damage the power steering system and could cost you an electric pump. Which I can assure you is not cheap. Only top the system up with one of these two fluids.
