Engine oil vs power steering fluid?
Each is designed for its own place in the vehicle. I would definitely avoid putting any power steering fluid in the crankcase. I would also avoid putting motor oil in the power steering. Power steering fluid is generally thinner than motor oil and would not be an advisable alternative to put in the crankcase. Now motor oil is thicker and can potentially damage components in the power steering with prolonged use. The detergents in motor oil may cause different issues with seals in the power steering, including leaks. On older vehicles the power steering generally called for automatic transmission fluid, but using power steering fluid in its place shouldn't hurt and may actually help.
If the belt on a 1993 Pontiac Bonneville got lodged between the pulley and the motor would this cause the power steering to go out?
I would be more apt to believe that the power steering pump failing would have caused the belt to jump off and become lodged between the pulley and the motor than the other way around.
How do you know if your car has power steering I have a 1997 fiat punto SX. The steering feels light when am driving but when i am parking it feels really heavy. Thanks?
Punto electric power steering is very effective . I would say its too effective you can steer with one finger. Without PS you will have to put in a lot of effort, especially when parking. With the PS option you should have abutton on the dash somewhere which says 'City' This when pressed makes the steering dangerously light Hope this helps Normally a Punto of that age wont have "City" mode however i cant be certain, your steering will ALWAYS feel heavier when your near enough stopped or moving slowly. It is like this is every car. If a Red steering wheel is displayed on your dashboard then this means the "city" option will not work.
Can you change your car to power steering?
If power steering was an option for that car and it has the same motor you could change it, but it would be expensive. Assuming it is front wheel drive, you would need to change the steering rack, possibly the wheel assemblies, install a pump and change the crankshaft pulley and serpentine belt.
Can you put power steering fluid in a air compressor reservoir?
Power steering fluid contains some detergents and additives that may be harmful to the motor. Unless there is something written on the compressor specifying the fluid requirements, I would use a non-detergent 30 weight motor oil.

Why power steering is used?
From what I understand, power steering in cars (vehicles) is simply to make steering the car easier. If it were not for power steering, you would have to use a lot more muscle to turn the steering wheel than you use when you have that power steering in place!
