RE: RE: Power Steering Fluid



Yes in the Scirocco Dexron/Mercron or better known as dex 3 is a common
replacement for our units. To get rid of whine and leaks put in a bottle of
Lucas PS conditioner after flushing the system.

Isn't Dextron III the universal (can be used in both older Ford and GM
transmissions) fluid now?  Has anyone used it in their cars power
steering?
Thanks, Rick.

Dexron is GM tranny fluid, among others.  I think they are now using
Dexron III.  Can you use any other fluid?  I would not know...  :-(

Is the Dextron II the Ford or GM version of ATF?  What about the new
ATF (universal) that is used in most transmissions now?  Can the
universal be used without causing problems?
Thanks, Rick.
