Hello!

What is the best to fill in in the Power Steering?

I have Liqui Moly Automatic transmission fluid which is especially prepared for GM Dexron II. Can I fill in this or should I buy something other?

Thank you, Niki

You shouldn't mix fluids. Unless the power steering was made to take that, and it's already got that in it, I wouldn't mix anything. PS fluid's easy to get around here, at least. I have heard that transmission fluid is an acceptable substitute for some power steering pumps, but that was when these cars were new, who knows the difference between tranny and power steering fluid today?
