i was looking in the owners manual and i am about to change my power steering fluid and it says it uses mercon automatic tranny fluid..... is that right?
alright cool thanks for the replies. i changed the fluid and wow it turns way easier. i didnt think i would notice a difference but i notice a big difference.
i just used a turkey baster and sucked as much of the fluid out as i can and then filled it up and turned the car on and turned the wheel left to right like 10 times. i repeated this process like 4-5 times until it looked like new fluid in there.
1. Remove hose and drain fluid.
2. Replace hose and top up the reservoir.
3. Start engine.
4. Slowly turn the wheels stop to stop, then back to straight ahead.
5. Stop engine
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 as necessary, until the fluid you drain is clear.
pull the return hose on your power sterring pump
if your going to grab a wrench to unthread the bolt its on to, then thats the wrong hose. its a plain rubber hose on the bottom
let it drain and all come out
replace hose
refill resivor
turn the car on. turn it a little bit each way, then turn the car off and check fluid.
then turn car on and turn all the way each way
turn off and check fluid and refil if needed
DO NOT OVERFILL
its like how the manual says use automatic transmission fluid with my T5 transmission. That will confuse the **** out of some old guys at an auto parts store.
