Most cars that call for normal Power Steering fluid can take Transmission Fluid as a substitute but there are exceptions. Hondas MUST use power steering fluids that meet Honda's spec and must never use ATF. German cars must use Pentosin mineral oil that costs about $50 per litre. Some cars specify Dexron-III/Mercon ATF for their power steering systems like Nissan and Toyota. Just remember to NEVER use Ford Type-F ATF, only fluids that meet or exceed the Dexron-III/Mercon spec can be used as a substitute in vehicles that specify "power steering fluid".
Never put power steering fluid in the transmission.
NO! Power steering fluid gets too hot and you will blow your transmission.
Automatic transmission fluid is the proper fluid.Automatic transmission fluid is the proper fluid.
It is generally not recommended to substitute power steering fluid with transmission fluid in a 2006 Nissan Sentra. While both fluids are hydraulic, they have different chemical properties and additives designed for their specific functions. Using transmission fluid could lead to steering issues or damage the power steering system over time. It's best to use the manufacturer-recommended power steering fluid for optimal performance and longevity.
Transmission fluid should not be used in place of power steering fluid. Power steering fluid is less compressible so that it can transfer power to different systems. Transmission fluid is meant for lubrication and has higher dimulsibility than power steering fluid.
Yes, automatic transmission fluid is the proper fluid for power steering systems. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( MERCON ) automatic transmission fluid in a 1997 Ford Aerostar power steering
Actually , the 2000 Ford F-250 owners manual shows that Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used in the power steering
In most vehicles, you can substitute ATF fluid instead of using Power Steering Fluid.
I have often used trans fluid as a cheaper than PS fluid substitute with out any problems.
transmission fluid can be used very similar to power steering fluid transmission fluid can be used very similar to power steering fluid
There is not much difference between power steering and transmission fluid. Many people use power steering in place of transmission fluid because it is cheaper.
Yes it could. If you put power steering fluid in the transmission you need to change the transmission fluid.
Alot of transmission fluids are the same as power steering fluid so I wouldnt worry
