Castrol ATF Transmax Dex/Merc Multi Vehicle #06820 at Advance or any auto parts place. And if you must use an additive (leaks, noises) Lucas Transmission Fix #10009, not the PS stop leak.

Yes, 100% same fluid as in AT. Standard PS fluid will kill the pump. A lesson you only have to learn once as a young lad.


ATF+4 should be fine, I just don't run synthetic so I can't tell you for sure.

Isn't ATF+4 specific to Chrysler/Mitsubishi?

I have been using Redline D4 in the auto trans and in the power steering. It has been working well for the last 10K miles.

Do you have to flush out the whole system, or just suck out whatever that is in the reservoir?
