Instructions for Power Steering Oil Additive

Model: Jaguar X-Type MK 1 - Years 2001-2009
Part: Steering wheel

It often happens that the power steering oil in vehicles with a traditional hydraulic system (belt-driven pump) becomes contaminated due to the deterioration of seals, steering box distributor rings, and even the system pipes: this not only contaminates the oil but also alters its properties, causing it to overheat prematurely, leading to irregular steering and increased stiffness; you can add a specific additive to restore the oil's properties; therefore, extract an amount of oil from the reservoir equal to that of the additive, add the latter, and continue to steer to circulate it.

This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
