Just wondering if someone could help me out. I was once told that you could use power steering fluid to replace auto transmission fluid...... is this true??? DanD Veteran / Moderator Apr 18, 2005, 4:30 AM Post #2 of 3 (2557 views) Re: Fluids Sign In Some of the older power steering systems used transmission fluid, but most of today’s vehicles all have there own specific types of fluids and they are not all the same either. If by chance you mean to replace your transmissions fluid with power steering fluid. Then the answer is a flat out NO! You should always follow what the manufacturer recommends as in what type of fluid, right from motor oils too brake fluid. For example there are so many transmission fluids, there is Dexron, Mercon, GM Dexron, Dexron II, Dexron IIE, Dexron III, Ford Type F, ATF +, ATF+2, ATF +3, ATF+4 and we won’t even go near talking about manual transmissions or all the different synthetics. Each one of these fluids has their own application some are compatible some are not. Dan. Canadian "EH" Dingo New User Apr 18, 2005, 8:57 AM Post #3 of 3 (2554 views) Re: Fluids Sign In Thanks Dan. I had run out of tranny fluid, but had a couple of quarts of p/s fluid on me. Thought I didn't even have enough in the transmission to go buy some more. But all is well, we are now topped back up with DexronIII   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
