Hello everyone,
Hope you are all having a great weekend. I want to change the power steering fluid on my '01 Grand Marquis. Now there's no leaks as the P/S reservoir always stays full, but I want to use the turkey baster method (the car has 178k miles and I don't want to risk an age/deterioration related problem by disconnecting hoses).
Now I'm wondering whether to use Mercon V (now recommended by Ford) or the Valvoline Maxlife since it has the seal conditioners (a Dexron III/Mercon product). Of course the original spec was for Dexron III/Mercon. Would anyone be able to make a suggestion on which one to pick between the two and how many quarts should I get? Two?
Thanks very much everyone.
