Hi
My power steering fluid is on the minimum mark. Can I just use generic power steering fluid and is there anything special I should do or do I just remove the reservoir cap and pour it in.
Cheers.

Re: power steering fluid
It is marked with a full line ... Just use normal Dexron auto gear box fluid to top it up ..

Re: power steering fluid
Sara, might be a good time to check for a leak and if so it could be beneficial to add some Stop Leak treatments at this point before you top it up with PS fluid.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

Dexron 3 is the one.

If .. you have a leak you can get combined top up fluid and conditioner (seal softener) in the same bottle ..

fYI, you will need 1 litre to fill the whole system after a full drain.
