Auto-Rx and regular P/S fluid

[Weatherlite]

Having a few probs with the power steering lately on my 2000 Ford Excursion...77,000 miles. I figured I'd do a flush and fill and see how much that helps. The question is whether Auto-Rx is safe for regular P/S systems. I know some use an ATF fluid but I don't really know about systems that use "power steering" fluid.

Any experience out there?

Thanks!

Hello Power Steering Fluid is base hydraulic oil
ISO 68 go to www.auto-rx.net for application
instructions. Auto-Rx will work fine.

i did it just recently following franks directions. it made a whopping difference...before my turning was ok..but now its soo smooth...and the fluid is clean.

my car is a 1991 accord with 170k...the fluid never really had gotten changed....yet auto rx cleaned it out and really made it better

my experiance =)

Auto-RX did smooth out my power steering, but it didn't stop the leak...
I know Hondas are picky about their P/S fluid, and after 1500 miles I haven't seen any new problems with my Honda, I think it's safe to use it in your car. What "problems" are you having?

If you have power steering leak and seals not ripped or torn e-mail me at
[email protected] and i will send you correct application to stop leak.

Thanks for the info. The only probs I'm having is that it tends to stick once in a while and is making a slight groaning occasionally. Supposedly the sticking is a trait with the superduty chassis but this only started recently so I wouldn't classify it as normal for my truck.

I've got some A-Rx left over from a engine and tranny flush I did last year so we'll see how she goes. I'll let ya know how it works.

After the Auto-Rx cleaning, this Lubegard Power Steering Supplement in your new fluid might be a help. I put it into two cars...one resulted in an easier steering feel, the other is the same (fine) as always.
