Power steering fluid

[swamp]

hi
Always use specified fluid for specific equipment .
The specifics for each application can never be assumed

Automatic trans ---specific
coolant hybrid /OATS / old school basic glycol / real old corrosion inhibitor
eng petrol or diesel DPF =yes or no ...2 stroke /4stroke ..viscosity based on ambient

Power steer generally in a modern car has small capacity and runs hot
Synthetic is to reduce oil breaking down when specified
Gear oil based or trans fluid based ,,NEVER EVER MIX THE 2
Specific additive fluid types

Ford do superceed their fluids ,, and charts do exist but not common . I accessed the USA charts by accident for gear box charts
Some fluids are backwards compatible some are not .

If Ford is not messy enough local Australian oil companies invent there only versions .

In different applications you need to track the Ford approval numbers from the originally installed oil ..
