sinkrun Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Is it ok to put transmission fluid in the power steering or should I spring for the real stuff. Oh its in the 99 xj and its completley empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Get a quart of Lucas Power Steering Fix and make sure you dump that in too. I'd get power steering fluid. I've heard many times that they're interchangable, but the power steering fluid I've bought was always thicker than the DEX III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 If you completely empty, ya better check where it went :hmm: Bad seal, or leaking hose. And spring for the Power Steering fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinkrun Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 It went in the drain pan I replaced both hoses rusted beyond belief and at 160,000 I just left it drain figured new was in order. I will spring for the real thing, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Chrysler has specified ATF+4 since the late 90's, they now have a formula of ATF+4 specific to power steering. It can be purchased at any dealer. Also, the Lucas additive is a must... Good shtuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
