SYNTHETIC POWER STEERING FLUID

[Archive]

MY 95 IS HARD TO STEER. DO THEY MAKE 100% SYNTHETIC POWER STEERING FLIUD (NOT A BLEND)?
CAN YOU USE A AUTOMATIC TRANS FLUID? OR WILL A BLEND WORK OK? THANKS FOR THE HELP LINE TDR!!!!

I believe the Valvoline stuff you can get is 100%.
It's in a silver plastic container.
I got mine at Pep boys. It costs about $3. 50 per quart.

Royal Purple MaxEZ Power Steering Fluid is a synthetic.

Shouldn't make that much of a difference if you're in NC though as your signiture indicates. Not cold enough to cause the power steering to be overly sluggest. (I grew up in Wisconsin so know cold weather).

You might want to check to make sure you have proper operation of the whole steering system, ie grease the zerk fittings, etc.

Good luck
