2000 Sunfire - Steering Fluid

My car makes a "noise" when turning left & right -sounds like the steering wheel is on a pulley - I think it?s my power steering fluid. I was told that I can?t fill the steering fluid myself, is that true? Also, I had car work done last month and was told that I should have all my fluids "done" - ran outta money and couldn?t do that at the time - mechanic quoted almost $400!!! is that reasonable. Any help would be appreciated! Tks.

Changing all the power steering fluid is difficult, You can change some of it by using a rubber syphon like on a battery tester or like on an anti-freeze tester. Syphon as much as you can and then top it up with new steering fluid, but watch out you don't put power steering fluid in, most vehicles use transmission fluid in the power steering, Dextron lll, etc.
