DOT 3 Power Steering fluid.
transmission fluid
Do NOT use transmission fluid in your power steering. It is designed for automatic transmissions, and a few rare manual transmissions only. (1965 Plymouth "Slant Six" manual transmission used automatic transmission fluid). In most Chrysler products made after about 2002, ATF is what they use for power steering fluid.
Ford automatics of that era use Type F fluid. Incidently, so does the power steering unit.
The recommended fluid for a 1965 GTO non-power steering box is typically a light hydraulic oil, such as Type A automatic transmission fluid. Some sources may suggest using a dedicated steering box fluid or a 50/50 mix of automatic transmission fluid and a lightweight motor oil. It’s important to check the owner’s manual or consult with a classic car expert for specific recommendations based on your vehicle's condition and usage.
