    Don't buy "power steering fluid" though. You want to fill that with Dexron automatic transmission fluid; otherwise you'll be very sorry.

    Years ago I seen that done all the time. But with the major advancements in technology the last couple of decades I don't see it anymore.

    So please explain to everyone why there's still a need to use tranny fluid instead?

    What would happen if there's currently power steering fluid in there now and he "tops it off" with tranny fluid?

    Cause inquiry minds wanna know lol.
