    Well why your there change the filter if you never have.
    More than likely the old fluid got full of contaminates and turned into cutting fluid and destroyed the seal in pump

    Depends on if you have the 2 at reservoir or 4 qt reservoir. Change it and filter yearly regardless

    13 cascadia's power steering fluid capacity is 1.5-1.7 gallon. Use synthetic ATF for better operation in extreme cold and hot weather... Walmart has Valvoline synthetic ATF. 1 gallon is $18..
