Yes, following manufacturer conditions and frequency; the level should be within the applicable marks. If topping-up is required, use the specified fluid and do not overfill. A low level can reduce assistance or damage components; fluid loss needs inspection rather than repeated topping-up alone. Do not wait for steering to become heavy. Purely electric steering has no such reservoir, and not every lorry uses a rack-and-pinion steering mechanism.
