Suitable Power Steering Fluid for 2007 Ford?

[Deranged]

Any suggestions from any bros out there? Would the generic power steering fluid that petrol kiosks sell be suitable?

I saw from my car manual that it should be WSS-M2C204-A2 type. Any suggestions for similar / eqivalent?

 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks vm! BTW isn't there a difference between ATF fluids & power steering fluids? I know for older cars (i.e. those from 1990s) there prob isn't an issue using ATF for both transmission & power steering but for newer models?

Depends on car model, not all can use ATF as PSF, check your owner manual as it will state if your power steering can use ATF or not.

 

In fact, PSF are simple hydraulic fluid while ATF even though are hydraulic fluid but have loads of anti-foam and anti-wear additives added in. So if your power steering can use ATF, then using Syn ATF would be more beneficial to the system.
