Hello,
Question about power steering fluids. I know that different manufacturers use different fluids for steering, where it be conventional power steering fluid or some type of atf, or sometimes some specific steering fluid. In the past I know that Chrysler started replacing power steering fluid with their atf fluid, and the bulletins stated to use the atf even in vehicles that originally came with power steering fluid.
Now, on to my question. I replaced the fluid in my Mitsu with Amsoil ATF. The original fluid was red, but it came in Mitsu bottles labled as power steering fluid. I'm not sure if it is red dyed power steering fluid, or atf, or something different.
According to Amsoil's applications, it states to use Amsoil Power Steering fluid. Is there anything wrong with keeping the Amsoil ATF in the system if it was originally designed for standard power steering fluid? could there be any long term problems with doing so? Or may it be even better for the steering system to use atf in it.
