Its one of many cars that use tranny fluid as a power steering fluid. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

Don't bother draining it man. It really doesn't matter. Power steering fluid and ATF are basically the same exact thing, in different colors.

Yeah, ti does sound a tiny bit different, but it won't hurt anything. Do a search Solar. There are quite a few other threads where Randy and tons of other 'wise ones' say the exact same thing.

You don't need the owners manual....it's printed on the power steering cap.
