The 2004 Chevy Cavalier requires Prestone Full Synthetic Power Steering Fluid. While power steering fluid may not be seen as a major upkeep task, it plays a crucial role in your vehicle's steering system. The cost to have your power steering flushed typically ranges from $100 to $130. Opinions vary on how frequently power steering fluid should be changed, with the general recommendation being every two years or around every 75,000 to 100,000 miles. If there is a low level of fluid in your system, air may enter the steering mechanism, leading to squealing noises when turning the wheel – a sign that it's time to replace your power steering fluid.
