Get whatever the decal on the powersteering cap advises. Just use a name brand fluid. Sure it is all about the same.

Redline helped mine with the whining the most. I tried the Lucas before and it did nothing.

I found mine at 5 mile auto in Spokane, Wa... I'm sure any redline dealer would have it. I checked the local auto parts stores and they carried some redline products but not the power steering fluid.

I use Redline PS fluid in mine, and will be using it again when I change it this spring.

I think Dextron lll is 5 weight oil. Wonder what regular power-steering fluid's weight is? Lighter weight?
