Power Steering fluid is a specific type of hydraulic fluid designed for use in power steering systems. While both are hydraulic fluids that transmit force, power steering fluid often contains additives for lubrication and temperature stability, tailored for automotive applications. In contrast, hydraulic fluid can refer to a broader category used in various machinery and equipment, and may not have the same properties or requirements as power steering fluid. Therefore, they are not interchangeable.

What does electric power steering use for fluid?
Electric power steering (EPS) systems do not use hydraulic fluid like traditional power steering systems. Instead, they rely on electric motors and sensors to assist in steering, eliminating the need for hydraulic fluid altogether. This design reduces weight, increases energy efficiency, and allows for more precise control. Some systems may use a small amount of lubricant for the steering mechanism, but it’s not the same as hydraulic fluid.
