What is what color is power steering fluid?

Power steering fluid is typically either red or clear/light amber. The color can vary slightly depending on the brand and type of fluid (e.g., some synthetic fluids might have a different tint), but those are the most common colors you'll encounter.

It's important to note that color alone is not a reliable indicator of the fluid's condition. A dark or discolored fluid (regardless of its initial color) often indicates contamination or degradation and requires a change. Checking the fluid level and condition should be done regularly as part of vehicle maintenance.
