What kind of oil do you use for power steering?
In 90-s 15w40 oil was recomended, but I use any mineral ATF (dextron) becouse whent it is cold like now here with motor oil in PS I had to turn steering wheel gently from lock to lock twice before start!!!! We used to use engine oil15W40 with no issues. Now I see our shop has switched to ATF.

When to add ATF to power steering fluid?
Some drivers cause a lot of PS problems they are the ones that are always twitching the wheel. If the system has ATF and it is burnt, then you want to go to 15/40 if it has ATF and it is bright red leave it alone. When ever I had a system apart and drained I always added 15/40, especially when I was changing the PS pump. Hesperia, Ca.
Look at the name on the sector-box. I thank Ross & TRW recommend ATF while Sheppard uses 15W 40 engine oil. I have seen all three used with both fluids without problems. If you came across a Saginaw maybe a New Process or something that says power steering fluid never use anything else. If there is a spec number look it up.
How do you change power steering into Armstrong steering?
When you change out that hose, you’ll probably get a bunch of air in the system. Which will turn power steering into Armstrong steering until you work it out. I just raised the front end, fired up the motor and worked the steering wheel side to side until it got burped out.
Is there power steering fluid in the tank?
I have a 07 international with a cm870.. Lately i noticed there is power steering fluid outside the tank it gets covered in it (From what i heard this is kinda normal). But the pump itself has fluid on the outside of it. I think the hose is probably leaking going down to it?
