Power Steeting Fluid in Place of ATF

[hkeller]

Just had the steering rack replaced. They refilled with "universal" power steering fluid. Anyone know for sure this will be a problem?

Yep will be problem. You'll have issue mostly when cooled. No big deal just flush, I like Mobil 1 full synthetic ATF. Search mud for flushing procedure.

I have been using Mobile DTE for a few years now with no problems.

Here is a link to the discussion.
