You won’t find any licensed Dex III fluids. Dex VI is back-spec’d for III.I'm going to be putting in a reman. rack and pinion because the current one is shot. It calls for DEX III/Merc fluid. Is it ok to use a High Mileage version to help condition seals & safeguard against future leaks?
Thanks
Not a Ford.If it's a Ford, Ford has specified the use of Mercon V where Mercon was previously recommended for power steering.
If it's not a Ford, you could still use Mercon V in place of Mercon or Dexron III.

Mercon V in the Power steering lines?
There is cases where Dexron VI has hurt powersteering pumps, especially on some Toyota's that call for Dexron III.You won’t find any licensed Dex III fluids. Dex VI is back-spec’d for III.

Good luck trying to find Mercon V!If it's a Ford, Ford has specified the use of Mercon V where Mercon was previously recommended for power steering.

Just get standard DEX/Merc and add a bottle of Lubegard power steering protectant.

Lubegard manufactures/markets their own synthetic power steering fluid that already contains their protectant (which is also a seal conditioner).Oooooo...Lubegard huh? I didn't know they made anything for power steering. That combo could be the winning ticket...nice one!
DEX/Merc is still easy to find and HM fluid will work fine with your power steering.I'm going to be putting in a reman. rack and pinion because the current one is shot. It calls for DEX III/Merc fluid. Is it ok to use a High Mileage version to help condition seals & safeguard against future leaks?

If you’re going to do that, why wouldn’t you just buy the fully-formulated Lubegard PSF and fill your whole system with it??Oooooo...Lubegard huh? I didn't know they made anything for power steering. That combo could be the winning ticket...nice one!
It's in stock at my local wal-mart for $6.83 a quart.

100% high performance synthetic power steering fluid doesn't make much economical sense on a 22 year old car. After I finish rebuilding the pump with all new seals, and put the remanufactured rack in, generic DexIII/Merc equivalent fluid with the Lubegard additive ought last a good while.
