The 2001 Ford F-250 requires Mercon V power steering fluid in its system to assist you in turning by reducing the steering effort. It is essential to regularly check your power steering fluid when you change your oil to ensure it is at the correct level. Insufficient power steering fluid can result in a decrease in steering responsiveness and potentially make steering more difficult. Avoid mixing different fluids in your vehicle as it may alter the boiling point, affecting the hydraulic system's performance. The hydraulic fluid operates under high pressure, generating heat that could lead to boiling and potential damage.
