Hi to all!

I've add approximately 70cl of gm 89021184 power steering fluid on my 1999 Camaro.


This fluid is ok?

Many thanks to all!

should be fine, thats standard gm ps fluid. did/do you have some special ps fluid in it?

 

On the user Manual said:
GM Power Steering Fluid (GM Part No. 1052884 - 1 pint, 1050017 - 1 quart, or equivalent).

These are old fluids really difficult to find.

The fluid in my Camaro is red (never changed) and the 70 cl of gm 89021184 that i've add is uncolored.

Do you think that this new fluid is an equivalent?

Many thanks...

i would say someone used auto trans fluid in it. wont hurt it, ps fluid is better. you can just add ps fluid or drain system and replace with ps fluid. good either way.

 

So I've coose the best way when I've add the gm ps fluid!

thanks Craby!

You won't really find specific power steering fluid for cars off the shelf any more. Just about every car (excluding Honda who are special) can use universal power steering fluid. Prestone, Valvoline and store brand are the most common I see. Lucas has some too.

I agree with Craby. Sounds like it has trans fluid in it. It'll be fine but better hope the PO didn't put power steering fluid in the trans doesn't work both ways. Haha

 

ahuahuahuhuahu!!
Nononono... in the Automatic Trans I use Dex VI! yeah!

...And dex VI is not ok for PS.
I think in the PS are ok only the PS Fluid or the dex II/III.
