Automatic transmission fluid for power steering?

iwant2buyaGTO · Feb 8, 2012

33,000 miles Automatic 04 GTO. I was checking my fluids and i saw that my power steering fluid is just below the minimum line. I looked in my owners manual and came to find out it takes Dexron III Automatic transmission fluid. I was wondering what do you use for power steering fluid in your GTO. I went you pep boys and all i found was Proline transmission fluid with dexron III. Also, should i just fill up to the line what i need or do a flush? Thanks for looking

I'd be worried about why it is low. At 33,000 it shouldn't be.

My mistake. Its just right under the max line. It was at an incline. I forget my driveway isnt even. when should you replace the power steering fluid?

You shouldn't have to replace the PS fluid. Add to it using the correct type.

So any automatic transmission fluid with Dexron III will work? my fluid is color red

I'd leave it alone if it's right below the max line. That's right where it should be.
