Default Quick Question... what power steering fluid?

SEARCH IS DOWN. I know this has been asked 1 zillion times and i'll delete this thread right after.

If I remember it's Dextron ATF. Correct?

I bought this from autozone: http://www.castrol.com/castrol/secti...tentId=7028224

This the stuff?

Thanks,
Thomas

Should work just fine, BUT make sure to flush out what is in there, no knowing what it is...

AND if you are already leaky you will continue to leak, only now you will be leaking ATF rather than combo whatever...

hmm... I MUST flush out whats in there? Wouldn't all this stuff be the same? Just different brands.

Last time my mechanic just topped it off.

I add some every 2 years.

Not a must, but you DO have a whole quart there, and the entire system will use just under 1 qt... Just a recommendation, not a MUST...

Just remember you COULD have 20 yr old fluid in there... Replacing it shouldn't adversely affect anything...
