What fluid do you use for power steering?
What power steering fluid do you use? I know most of you might use ATF fluid, but I am trying to find the brand so that I can be more specific when I hit the store. Thanks in advance.

Any Dexron ATF will be fine. It would be difficult to choose a superior fluid, but use a name brand if possible, such as Valvoline or Castrol.

I got some Mobil 1 ATF. I put it in over a year ago. I've not noticed any problems to date.

No, we are not getting rid of the power steering, just to replace the contaminated power steering fluid with new fluid as part of the period maintenance.
