For those that HAVE replaced your PS fluid

[chefwong]

What fluid did ya'll use ? I will assume a majority who have probably used M1 ATF ? Any changes with your new fluid ?

I have done about 4 reservoir drain/refill with Amsoil Synthetic ATF. It was about a quart even with the 4 drains/refills.

Since then, the PS feels too boosted.
I'm getting noise from the pump when the car is cold, and even when the car is warm, regardless if I turn the steering wheel lock to lock, if I even turn it 3oclock clockwise or 9oclock counterclockwise, I get a noise from the rack....I can hear it with the windows down.

Due to the boosted steering, steering feedback, floatiness is felt through the steering wheel. I wouldn't imagine that the Amsoil be cause THAT much of a change....


Looking for some of your feedback.
Otherwise....I'm gonna have to dig around and found out what the castrol dex III spec OEM fluid is and start all over.
