ATF ( automatic transmission fluid) is fine , try to buy a well known branded product [:)]. regards Dave
 
I'm a bit low on power steering levels, is just Dot 5.1 brake and clutch fluid or is it something special?

What's best H**frauds 8.99 stuff?

BTW I'm asking about a Porsche 944S2 not a Toyota [;)]
 
They sometimes brand it as Power Steering Fluid but it's pretty much the same stuff as ATF. I would advise changing it also mate if it's been in there a while.
 
I've recently done a fair bit of research on this as "power steering" fluid has evolved into something much different that what it was for our cars when new. You want to stay with a regular old red ATF fluid - avoid the new types unless flushing and changing the system. Even then, it seems some of the newer fluids are not compatible with seals/pump as lubricant base and additives are quite different. Sorry - ATF we should use is old GM fluid - Dexron II (and III IRRC) and compatible. Newer Dexrons changed the formula.
