Can oil change affect power steering?
If you are referring to engine oil, lack of engine oil might cause the engine to stop and that would cause loss of power steering. If you are still having trouble with the power steering system, or you want it inspected for proper operation, please use YourMechanic’s power steering service page to request service.
