I went to autozone and they said its the same for most cars except for Honda. I also read in the owners manual and I diddnt see anything that said it needed any specific type.

I went to my auto store too and they said Honda was the only one that use specific fluids. I bought Valvoline Power Steering fluid, and just added it in. The guy also said I could use the stores brand but I got the valvoline for piece of mind.

I want to fix a small leak and flush mine. I am not sure if using a synthetic ATF is Ok versus just regular ATF in the power steering.

OK, I'm glad I found this thread. My power steering popped a hose last night and emptied my steering fluid all over the parking lot.
It's an easy fix, but I was very concerned about the fluid I can use as the dealerships aren't open on SUnday.
So, ATF is fine to use. Just the regular stuff, or is synthetic ok?
