However the P/S fluid in our cars is ATF. It will get blackish & smell burnt.
It should be flushed periodally (3yr/40k) as general maintenance anyway.
I run Mobil 1 ATF.
Ok, thanks,
so they were not just looking for more money.
What they showed me was brownish and the new was pinkish. I've never changed the power steering fluid on any of my cars. Is it hard to do yourself or should I pay someone to do it? I think they said about $75 Canadian to do it for me.
It would cause leaks etc if left too long, right?
What should I check for when it gets done to see if it was done right?
Thanks again,
Stephen
