power steering fluid?

davo · August 9th, 2010, 03:42 PM

I want to change my power steering fluid and im not sure what to use. I think the manual calls for Mecron ATF but if I put normal power steering fluid in would there be any benefit? (like reduce wine or noise?)

No. Flush the whole system though, if any whine will go away that will do it. Use what Ford, i.e. the manual recommend. These power steering pumps are just noisy...

I flushed the whole power steering system in my 00 Mustang and refilled it with Royal Purple power steering fluid.It been over a month and I haven't had any problems.The old fluid was so nasty I think it was defiantly time to flush the system.
