>you may use a transmission ATF fluid, if you can not find the brand you want
dealers endorse a brand for profit and also to control car owners choice/preference
but the truth , you can use just about any oil. the important thing is , it has oil to lubricate the hydraulic circuit.. power steering of a car is not as loaded like the boom on a crane and or any other heavy equipment machine.
>ATF will do and it will not break any seals, we do it here in my country, and we never have any reported accident cause by unbranded/not car factory recommended steering fluid.
>seal on Power Steering breaks/leaks due to age and overheating of engine, heat transfer in elementary school lesson.
>and for leaking power steering, you can add/tap it even with a clean engine oil..
>no need to worry it will break, it is already broken..
>have it repair/overhaul then fill it with any brand of steering fluid you want.
but rest assure, the ATF will do,, automatic transmission fluid..
power steering is also a hydraulic device, seals and O-rings uses the same rubber composition as in your power steering pump and automatic trans..
got it!
