My 420 SEL is low in PSteering fluid and is screeching when turning. I cannot find any info in my manual. I guess they dont want you filling it at home. Where is the PS fluid recepticle? Cant find it looking under the hood. Am I clueless? Help! Regards.

Look where the top pulley on the rigt is as you look at the engine.
There is a big metal shere behind it with a black blastic cap on the top.

Undo the top, take off the lid and in the centre is a plastic pillar with triangle shapes around it.

Top the level up to the bottom of the triangle only.

Sheaman, It doesn't use Power Steering Fluid, It's transmission fluid. Read your manual. I made the mistake and drained it out, replacing with Trans fluid.
