This is probably a silly question but what are the differences in power steering fluids? I notice that there seems to be two different GM part numbers for fluid, 1050017 and 1052884. My
'87 Corvette factory service manual specifies the 1052884 or equivalent. The owner's manual specifies 1050017. What's the difference between the two? I fixed a minor leak on the '87s reservoir but need to top it off. I'm not sure what's in it now.
The Chevy dealer tells me that they're probably just two different size containers of the same fluid. What they use now is a "cold-weather" fluid that, if I want to use, I need to flush out the old stuff first.
Anybody?
