For the 2009 Chevy Traverse, it is recommended to use GM power steering fluid with part number 89021184. If GM fluid is not available, look for other brands that meet the same specifications and mention the GM part number on their packaging. Valvoline is known to produce a compatible option, and there are likely other brands as well. Unlike other fluids in your vehicle, you don't need to regularly check your power steering fluid. The only occasion you should inspect it is if you suspect a leak, in which case, it's best to have it serviced.
The specific power steering fluid needed for the 2009 Chevy Traverse is the dexron vi type.
