RE: ACE
Do the ACE and power steering fluid at the same time.
Go to the auto parts store, buy 6 quarts of Vavoline's synthetic p/s fluid, 1 bottle of Lucas p/s additive and one turkey baster from their battery department.
Suck all the fluid out of both reservors, fill with Vavoline, start the engine, turn the steering both ways to the stops, stop the engine, suck all the fluid out and refill, do it 3 times. When done add 1/2 a bottle of Lucas to each and top off with the Vavoline.

RE: ACE
Hi,
The main thing with ACE is to renew the filter in the block. Its simple enough to do, just ensure you clean all the external components before removing the filter, thisis to avoid ANY dirt or debris getting into the system. The filters "sometimes" are known to be well stuck in, but they do normally come out ok, they are removed by screwing in a M6 bolt to pull it out, but dont "twist" it, just a straight pull.
Renew filter and "O" ring, refit cap and tighten to 15lbs ft
Then its simply check the fluid level and top up as needed after running the car for 2 mins.
Also, the dash ACE light "should" light with the ignition in postion 2, then go out after 2-3 secs. It performs a self check when the ignition is initially switched on
