type of Power Steering fluid
 

I'm refreshing PS fluid, and noticed that people were using Castrol Dexron III which is not on the market anymore. Will Castrol HEAVY DUTY MULTI–PURPOSE ATF be good for this job? Thanks

Just use any Dexron III , like mobli 1etc....

Can I still find Dexron III? I thought the licence has been discontinued

Mobil One, Dexron, Amsoil, et al...
all come in "synthetic" versions, too.
Or, cop a bottle from the dlr.

Easy to replace with turkey baster...do it a few times
over a few days, never going below the inlet hole.

Dallas has got to have a good selection of auto parts stores
and, brands to select from.

YMMV but the viscosity between all the ATF fluids are different.....I was having noise issues, less viscosity--looser steering feel, etc. IMO, Mobil 1 DEX III (the one with the bottle that is labeled Dex III) worked the best for me.

How about Redline D4, I'm going to try.

I went through Amsoil Universal ATF, as well as Castrol. At that point, I went through a whole excel spreadsheet and looked up the viscosity of alot of Dex III on the market.
Anyhow, to summarize, M1 Dex III *specific* did the trick for me. When I state M1 Dex III....is because I recall seeing a universal ATF on the shelf awhile back.


Try it. If it doesn't do your fancy...that end up doing what I did was trying till it did :-)

Again..this opinion may be subjective and any Dex III will feel the same for you or sound the same...but it was quite a riot when Amsoil....being my 1st choice of lube, was too thin for the PS rack.

Thanks for the input, I end up with redline D4. But I am not sure what is the correct level to fill up, there is a rod with 2 circle lines attached to the lid, are those lines indicate lower and upper level? thanks

Just fill up to the top line (upper level) :thumbup:

thanks
