It will quite possibly, as with all electronics, cause a short and, maybe with automobiles, cause the steering wheel to explode.
The hydraulic seals in your power steering will be eaten away by engine oil. Your power steering will start to leek and eventually, it will not work at all.
It will Probably EXPLODE!!
If you put water in your power steering reservoir you could damage the gears in your power steering gear box. Don't drive the vehicle until you drain the reservoir, pump and gear box of your power steering system and replace with the proper fluid. You will need to bleed the system as well. This is done by filling with fluid while a friend turns the steering wheel with the engine running 20 times all the way to the left and the right.
You will screw your steering system. You need to flush steering system ASAP. And of course do not drive with engine oil in steering.
No. Put in power steering fluid.
1. Your power steering won't work properly, because it requires hydraulic fluid. 2. You may cause corrosion in your power steering system.
If you put power steering fluid into an electronic assist power steering system, it can cause significant damage. Electronic power steering systems are designed to use a specific type of fluid, often a lighter hydraulic fluid or even no fluid at all, depending on the design. Introducing traditional power steering fluid can lead to leaks, seals degrading, and potential failure of the electronic components. This can result in costly repairs and compromised steering performance.
it's ok
My Ford Explorer takes automatic transmission fluid for the power steering fluid so I guess it would depend on what type of vehicle you have and what type of power steering fluid is supposed to be used
