For the 2003 Mazda Tribute, you should use MERCON V power steering fluid. When adding the fluid, make sure to fill it up to the maximum line on the reservoir. Power steering fluid is essential for transferring power in your steering system, making it easier to turn the wheel. Over time, the power steering fluid will need to be replaced. In the Tribute, it is recommended to change the fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. The price of the fluid ranges from $5 to $15 per quart, depending on the type. Expect labor costs for the fluid change to be between $80 and $100.
In 2002, my Mazda Tribute produces a sound when I turn the steering wheel left and right.
If I find myself unable to make a change, could I simply add more power steering fluid and be good for a few days?
