The 2005 Ford F-150 requires Mercon ATF fluid for its power steering, with a capacity of 1.5 quarts. Power steering fluid plays a crucial role in the steering system by enhancing steering wheel movement and providing lubrication to protect system components. The typical cost for a power steering fluid flush ranges from $100 to $110, recommended every two years or after driving 75,000 to 100,000 miles. If the fluid level is low, air may enter the steering mechanism, causing squealing sounds when turning the wheel, indicating a need for fluid replacement.
