ATF in PS

[sseaman]

I have read all the prefered methods of replacing the fluid for the Power steering, but i havent seen anywhere how many quarts it usually takes to complete this... any body have a good guess or even better and accurate amount.

thanks in advance

According to the FSM page SR-5 there is .9 US Quart in the system. If you were going to do a straight flush and fill, that is how much you might use. If you use any other method not mentioned in the service manual, you could be adding ATF for a while before you diluted the remains of the previous oil out of there.

ATF is the correct oil to use.

I flushed mine out recently and used about 2.5L (about 2.6 quarts apparantly) for the whole job.
