please suggest a good ps fluid

[spyghost]

hi,

on my manual, the specs should be atf dexron ii (mitsubishi lancer glx 2000 by the way). masyado maraming choices. in addition to that, some labels only say atf - no dexron markings of any sort. medyo nalilito ako. i went to shell and they have two kinds of atf - one is 1xx.xx and the other is 2xx.xx. any suggestions?

mahal sa gas stations, mapa break fluid, motor oil or atf. IMO kung di naman emergency better kung sa suking auto supply. dami silang brands AFAIK puro dexron III/Mercon na labas na compatible rin. Castrol gamit ko since yun na una ginamit ng Isuzu nung nagka prob PS in '02. hanggang ngayon yun pa rin gamit ko pamalit sa reservoir.

[testament11]

stp ang gamit ko since last year. gusto ko ngayon itry yung royal purple, kaso nakalimutan ko itanong kung magkano ang 1 bote

[spyghost]

iirc rp is 350 a bottle. for a 1 liter ps system you'll be needing 3

[testament11]

mahal pala ang 1 bote nung rp, 4 times na mas mahal sa stp. tanong lang, maganda naman ba?

[Galactus]

Yung mga gas stations, kahit sabihin mong power steering gluid ang kailangan mo, ATF ang ibebenta nila sa yo, at sasabihing pareho lang yan.

Personally, I go for STP. Mura eh, less than P140/bottle sa Ace Hardware. Never had any problems with it naman, even on different cars (B14 Sentra, 97 Accord and 06 Civic).

i use valvoline VV335 Power Steering Fluid maxlife on my old car.

[spyghost]

is stp synthetic? rp is synthetic

what makes power steering fluid different from atf? power steering systems use atf right? what would make a "real" power steering fluid do to the system in comparison to an atf dexron ii spec?

are you asking ATF (automatic transmission fluid) or PS fluid (power steering fluid) cuz, thats totally different on PS fluid vs ATF.

[testament11]

yun, eto pa pala ang 1 tanong ko, kung bakit ang iba, atf ang nilalagay at hindi power steering fluid? may similarities ba ang atf at power steering fluid?

sir galactus: 140 na ang stp sa ace? 90 petot lang dati yan ah! sa suking auto supply 80 petot lang kuha ko, hehehe...

exactly i wanted to know, Transmission fluid a slippery liquid that acts as a lubricant on gears thicker consistency. power steering fluid is like a hydraulic fluid thinner consistency to go thru the valves and lines.

[spyghost]

does that mean that ps fluid is better than atf because of its thinner consistency? just like engines with lighter weight oil, mas magaan sa makina?

[testament11]

kasi, dito ko hindi maisip, saan nakuha ang logic na atf eh pwede gamitin as power steering fluid? akala ko nga nung una, atf lang ang ginagamit sa power steering pero meron pala talagang power steering fluid lang talaga, hindi atf

go ahead if you want to use that on your motor, power steering fluid is not a lubricant.

[speedyfix]

in some cases ok lang to interchange psf and atf. pero it depends on the car.

[spyghost]

if psf is thinner, then wouldn't it promote leaks?

sa manual ng mazda (323) power steering fluid and ATF parehong ATF M-III or Dexron II

[banawe]

powersteering fluid sa banawe ngayon is stp and pureguard

stp is cheaper mga 90 per bottle pero 345ml

pureguard is 120 per bottle and 1 liter

same naman yan basta power steering fluid is white while atf is red

atf pwede din gamintin sa mga toyota pero pag honda powersteering fluid lang talaga iba kasi ang viscocity nung dalawa

for more question buzz me or inquire nalang kayo

how would i know if the power steering system will work with psf instead of atf? the manual says atf dexron ii.
