Re: Power Steering System

Oh.. Good! I was hoping for a small capacity.. cuz I put in PS fluid when I recently flushed the system after replacing the O-Ring! My system is miraculously improved as I stated in another thread.. BUT, several members told me to swap for ATF.. the OEM power steering product. They said PS fluid might cause seal and O-Ring leaks.. . YIKES!

When I flushed the system.. I ended up blowing the PS system old fluid all over the place (mainly hood) cuz my tubing blew out of the return PS hose when I briefly turned engine on.

Tom recently recommended sucking out reservoir PS fluid.. and replacing several times with ATF. It seems to hold about a pint (at least?).. SO, I can calculate now the approximate dilution this is creating.

Thanks..
