GM uses different fluid on hard top convertible!
I have an 88 celica and my top motor takes power steering fluid
No. Put in power steering fluid.
There is no power steering fluid in alto lxi because it use electric power steering.... A electrical motor used for power steering so there is no need of fluid.
there is no fluid, they are electronic power steering, which is an electric motor fitted to the steering column under the dashboard

The tank for the top motor fluid is in the trunk under/ near the spare tire. I think it is on the left side. You have to pull back the trunk lining. It takes power steering fluid also dot three brake fluid,
power steering fluid
The fluid could be leaking from the pump, hoses, or steering rack. Wash the steering system, then you can see where the leak is coming from.
Mechanic that once worked at VW dealer told me it was hydraulic fluid, better know as power steering fluid. He recommended buying from the dealer to keep the same quality when adding to the reservoir.
Yes, if you drive with the power steering empty of fluid and the motor locks up, it can actually rip the belt from the motor. You can damage belts and the steering motor if you drive with the power steering empty.
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.
There is no power steering fluid on Pontiac G5/Cobalts, as they are assisted by an electric motor-as opposed to the conventional hydraulic system.
