Best Answer

The colour of the fluid in your car should be red, not brown. (Later astras use green mineral oil for the PAS). If it has discoloured, i would recommend replacing it as it obviously ain't been done for ages. The fluid you need to replace it is known as Dexron II, (ATF or auto geabox oil.)
