Power Steering fluid
Hello everyone. I bought a 1986 RX7 GXL. It did not come with the owners manual. I noticed the car's power steering fluid is low and i was wondering if anyone here could tell me what type it uses.

Before you mess up here no power steering fluid... our cars use ATF...thats right Automatic Transmission Fluid good ole ATF for power steering pump.

ATF type F (M2C33-F0 or Dexron II
