ATF as power steering fluid.

[Rogersk8ter]

Ive abt 3 L of Dia Queen SP 3 ATF left.

 

My power steering fluid looks dark. Thinking of using the remainder ATF for power steering fluid.

 

Searched thru the web and found the Dai Queen SP3 has a higher spec than the recommended

Daxron 3 for power steering listed in my car manual.

 

The Dai Queen ATF has cleaning additive and higher temperature range compared to Daxron 3.

 

The Daxron 3 is pretty old spec and basically a low spec hydraulic fluid w/o additives.

 

In this respect, would u think its better to use the remaider Dai Queen SP3 to replace my old

existing power fluid?

 

There were mech who would do it while some will caution against such practice.

 

Anyone any experience or advice?

I like to believe it will outlast your car balance COE

Not true that SP III has higher spec than Dexron III, just different fluid friction properties. But yes, you can use your SP III for your PSF, no problem.

ATF 3 is good enough for power steering.
