ok, thnaks, now what would cause my sterring wheel to be really tight, do i have to bleed it, and how?? it makes a grinded noise at the PS pump

to bleed it all you do is leave the cap off and turn the wheel back and forth to heat it up and force air out, just watch the level so it doesn't get low.

Most power steering fluid on the market is just a very lightweight mtor oil (not a multi-viscosity one).

When my PS fluid was low, I just put some of the normal stuff in it, and then when I checked the manual (duh, should have done that first) I freaked out thinking I was gonna mess up my PS system.

Never happened, though.
