★ Top Answer
The 2002 Ford Explorer now recommends using Mercon V power steering fluid instead of the previously recommended Mercon. The vehicle requires 32 ounces or 1 quart of fluid. Power steering fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid that assists in turning the wheels with less effort. It is advised to replace the power steering fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Signs that the fluid needs changing include difficulty in turning the wheels, noisy steering, or leaks under the vehicle. The cost of changing the fluid can range from $130 to $170 in labor expenses.
