Using the wrong Power Steering fluid on a mini can cause all kinds of problems. The car might steer differently, or the fluid could leak or damage the steering rack and pump.
Alot of transmission fluids are the same as power steering fluid so I wouldnt worry
This is two of the things I know that could be wrong. The power steering pump is either bad or there is no power steering fluid in the pump causing it to have steering problems. Be sure to check the fluid level in the power steering pump.
it will be difficult to turn your steering wheel
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
It will most likely cause problems with the seals that hold the fluid inside then you will spring a leak, this could be a costly mistake.
You will screw your steering system. You need to flush steering system ASAP. And of course do not drive with engine oil in steering.
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.
You need to replace the power steering pump. If it is leaking, it is going out.
Overfilling a power steering system with fluid can cause overpressure. You may cause a leak in your lines or pump.
it will cause you seals to ware out
It will Probably EXPLODE!!
The power steering fluid recommended is Mopar
