Yes, not a good think. Your Power Steering will not properly and because of lake of lubrication it will die. You need clean power steering system of brake fluid. It's not hard to do but just tricky.
There is no substitute available that can be used for brake fluid. Using anything other than brake fluid could be dangerous and would likely cause damage.
If you have anything other than brake fluid in the line, then the whole system has to be flushed. Use fresh brake fluid and you can blow the system with air pressure then bleed with the d.o.t. specified fluid for your model.
No, and neither has anything to do with the engine type.
It is important to use the right types of fluids in car to help it run. The brake fluid specification for an Oldsmobile is anything that meets the Dot 3 Brake Fluid standard.?æ
low on power steering fluid or the pump is bad
You either need power streering fluid or a power steering belt.
It uses brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. The clutch fluid (brake fluid) is fed by the brake fluid reservoir. The clutch fluid reservoir is just beneath the brake fluid reservoir. So, add fluid to the brake fluid reservoir to fill the clutch fluid, also.
use Dextron 11 or 111 transmission fluid. it works well in power streering
Anything but DOT 5...DOT 3 is what was in it at the factory, DOT 4 is better and Synthetic Brake Fluid is also good. DOT 5 is Silicone Brake Fluid; it was invented for the Army and they're the only ones who should use it.
Yes. Normal brake fluid is actually synthetic
It is important to maintain the brake fluid levels in a car. The brake fluid type for a 2002 Grand AM is DOT 3 brake fluid.
Only brake fluid can be used for brake fluid. Brake fluid is a glycol-based liquid - it's closer to antifreeze than to oil, but don't use antifreeze in it either. Only brake fluid.
