am about to do a full service on my truck and was wondering what name brand fluids should i use for the power steering fluid and the brake fluid i saw one on AB.com but not sure if its synthetic

 

also what type of transmission oil should i use

 

Pretty much any big brand full synthetic should be fine. For transmission fluid I'm using Valvoline high mileage.

 

Royal Purple, Mobil 1, Red Line or any of the major synthetics, as already mentioned Vavoline makes a great high mileage Dextron 3 as well as a great synthetic brake fluid.
If you can, use a Mobil 1-301 or a K&N 3001 oil filter, only use a factory paper air filter.
What other services are you doing?

 

mike do you mind if i give you a call i want to ask you a couple of questions before i order parts.

 

I am having a tough time finding any brand of power steering fluid that is synthetic. any help here on where to buy? thanks I have checked Pep Boys, Auto Zone, Advanced Auto and O'reileys.

 

You dont have to use full synthetic.
Is yours a DI or a DII?

 

I found my Royal Purple at a speed shop. Pep Boys carries the engine oil and tranny fluid, but I had to go to the speed shop for brake and ps.

 

Redline has it, i believe, Some stores still have inventories of Vavoline's synthetic p/s fluid.
As Spike has mentioned, you don't need it but it is a plus if you can find it. If not consider adding a bottle of Lucas p/s additive if you do a full flush.

 

Its a DII by the way with ACE. I was planning on running synthetic w/Lucas but if you think regular ps fluid w/Lucas is ok then I'll do that. Thats okay with ACE, right?
