Kevin Huntley Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I removed my power steering resevoir to have it chromed the other day and while removing it managed to spill some of the fluid. What make/varient of fluid do I need to buy to top it up with? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Owners manual and cap say Dextron II ATF fluid Dont top up with DEX III as II and III are not compatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Dexron II is the 'standard' fluid for nearly ALL power steering and Auto' Transmissions.(it's the stuff 'WE'/all car spares shops stock on the shelf) Some Citroens and I believe Jags (and poss' some more) have a weird P'S' fluid. AND OF COURSE, our Soop ATF has been 'UPPED' from II or III to the now recommended IV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Huntley Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 OK, I am a bit confused now I have just been to Halfrauds and in the book there it recomends Dexron III fluid for the Supra 93>. Should I or should I not put this in my power steering Resevoir? All it says on the the P/S cap is Dexron it does not say either ii or iii and I can not find any reference to it in the owners manual! Thanks Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 I would think Dexron III is an upgraded version of II (although TYPE IV isn't - or so they say ?) It's rather like DOT3 Brake/clutch fluid, then DOT4, now DOT5 they are each newer/more heat resistant blah blah blah. When the Supra came out in '93 I don't think Dexron III even existed (?) I'm pretty sure DOT5 didn't (or, wasn't widely available) I think TYPE IV is crucial for the auto' box 'cos of some seal problem (?) But, I don't think Dexron II is gonna' hurt the P'S' system.. ??????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Kevin my owners Manual page 159 " Power Steering Fluid Type: Automatic Transmission Fluid Dextron II" Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
