What can I use as power steering fluid? I'd like to have the system flushed sana as well as all my other oils. San ba marunong or magaling gumawa nito?

mr ungas is correct. exclude mo na lang flushing dahil it will create more damage sa power steering mo. anyway, power steering fluids don't need to be flushed or cleaned dahil malinis naman yung system nyan.
any ordinary ATF oils can be used as PS fluids. this is useful kung AT yung car mo so that isang bilihan na lang. kung car mo is manual, i would suggest using a separate PS fluid.

January 4th, 2003 08:09 AM #10boss chieffy, pwede ba yan na transmission/gear oil sa akin? manual kasi kotse ko and balak ko din sya ipaflush. car is 99 lancer glxi.
saw a bottle of shell power steering fluid, yung nasa yellow container nga sa ace hardware. Can't remember na how much. I'll get that na lang unless meron akong makuha sa caltex na pwede din na gear oil.

February 14th, 2008 10:35 AM #13so if there's really no problem w/ the steering wheel assembly and its fluid (no leaks), no flushing or replacing should be done? even if the psf is already dirty and if the psf has never been replaced in the car's entire lifetime?
i'm asking this because i'm planning to have my car's psf changed/replaced. btw, the car is an ek 96Last edited by baludoy; February 14th, 2008 at 11:00 AM.

February 14th, 2008 11:39 AM #14We have an Altis, and according to the manual, we have to replace all fluids every 40,000 Km. It is now at almost 80,000.

February 14th, 2008 02:08 PM #17oo naman bro. i already bought an oem psf from the casa recently. i'm just having second thoughts on whether to have the old psf replaced/changed or just to top-up na lang. naka-sched na nga ako kanina pero pinostpone ko na lang muna para bukas Originally Posted by non-vtec
cvt: oo nga eh. i read some of the posts made earlier that's why i got cold feet. i had the procedure scheduled already for this morning sana but i decided to put it off. i will do it tomorrow morning na lang since i don't think it'll take that long anyway
btw, i've consulted the manual already and it all it says is to inspect after every service starting at 40000 kms
