According to the 2013 Chevy Avalanche owner's manual, it is best to use GM power steering fluid with the part number 89021184. However, there are other options available, like Valvoline, which meet GM specifications and are cost-effective, usually priced around $7 for a 1-quart bottle. When checking your power steering fluid, make sure the engine is cold for accurate readings. Use the dipstick to check levels in the same manner as you would check your oil. - Scott L.

I simply rely on Prestone power steering fluid for my vehicle's needs.
