How do you add power steering fluid to a 2001 Buick Regal with the 3800 series II engine?
I have a 2001 Regal. Once you’ve located the power steering filler cap – which is on the passenger side just behind and under the alternator (I had to use a flashlight to find mine but it’s visible if you lean over the front fender – passenger side) – the rest was easy. There is a cross brace by the firewall that I had to remove so I could get to the filler cap. The cross brace is held on by 4 nuts – 1/2″ or 13mm – and removing them and the brace allows fairly easy access to the filler cap. Remove the cap and fill. I’d recommend using a small funnel since it’s virtually impossible to get the power steering fluid bottle behind the alternator and around several hoses. A funnel made it a cinch. Check to be sure you don’t over fill, replace the cross brace and you’re finished.
