power steering fluid - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

04dsgMACHONE · 04-13-2014, 03:39 PM

It appears my power steering fluid is low, and I can't seem to find a definitive answer as to which power steering fluid I should use to cap it off. Also, is it okay to just add some or should I wait until I have the time to flush all the old out?

Thanks!

I have always used a turkey baster to just get it out of reservoir (that is just me), in terms of type, I just get regular 'ol power steering fluid from parts house that has the word "Ford" on it.

Could also use trans fluid if you have some laying around. That's what I have always used.

If you are confused and can't figure it out, go to the local Ford dealer and get the OEM fluid. Can't make a mistake there.......
