bradland Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hey guys just looking for a little insight here. Getting ready to do a PS flush on my 99 LS which will include cleaning the solenoid screen. My question is.. If I'm already spending the extra dollars to upgrade to synthetic (ATF) fluid anyway, why not just use RedLine synthetic Power Steering fluid. Maybe these two fluids are basically the same and it is a mute point. I don't know. It just seems obvious to me to use a fluid that is designed for a power steering system and not a transmission. I've heard lifetime Toyota (dealer) mechanics say there are certain detergents in ATF that are hard on the seals of a PS system. That is really my main concern. I realize there is a lot of old school thinking vs modern day knowledge... Please help me fill in the gaps here, pros and cons, etc. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
