need help one some power steering fluid, what type of power steering fluid do we put? any or it must be factory? thanks

 

Read whats on the hood, or in the manual, or the fsm. More than likely it is dexrom 2 aut trans fluid though. Lucas has a stop leak for it if you want to try that, it actually worked pretty damn well for me.

 

Yeah, I think its its the Dextron ATF too, just double check in the manual. My friends 1990 GXL took the ATF fluid, but it might not be the same for all.

 

type f fuild. just went to advance the past weekend, and when they looked up 89. it was type f. since all series 5 are the same it will work.

 

Yep all true, and that Lucas is some GOOD stuff...it worked so well in my Delivery truck to stop a leak I have used it in both of my 88 S/4 NA's as a PREVENTATIVE before a leak develops. So far, so good, no leaks.

 

so Lucas transmission fluid? that would do it? =)

 

oh, is dextron ATF, sorry, not lucas

 

I'm talking about power steering fluid? not transmission fluid. lol

 

Make sure your turn signal fluid is full also.

 

i just use ATF

 

You guys use ATF for power steering fluid? I have honestly not heard of that.... But, I've never had to mess with my power steering. Last time I saw steering fluid, I was pulling my power steering rack out.

 

well what is power steering flud.... hydr. fluid.. what do you think atf is.. runs through a pump.... =hydr. fluid..

 

Yeah. true.. but auto trans has a lot of friction surfaces. I would imagine there are a lot of detergents in ATF that allow this viscosity to occur.. Where as in a power steering unit, you would need a more pure hydraulic fluid.

 

meh it has worked in all of the cars i have put it in.. everything from my rx7, 75 chevy truck, my toyota truck, 84 ford diesel, 72 scout II, and various other cars...its just hella cheaper than real "power steering" fluid...

 

I have a manual trans.

 

lol
