However, the specific type of fluid depends on the power steering system in your car.
Here's how to determine the correct fluid:
1. Check the owner's manual: It should specify the type of power steering fluid required.
2. Look for a sticker or label: There might be a label on the power steering reservoir or on the engine compartment that indicates the type of fluid.
3. Check the reservoir: Look at the color of the existing fluid.
* Red: Typically, Dexron II or III automatic transmission fluid.
* Green: Usually, a dedicated power steering fluid.
Common Power Steering Fluids:
* Dexron II or III ATF: Many older vehicles use this. Check your manual.
* Dedicated Power Steering Fluid: Some vehicles require specific power steering fluid.
Important Notes:
* Do not mix different types of power steering fluid. Using the wrong fluid can damage your power steering system.
* Use only high-quality power steering fluid. Low-quality fluid can break down and lead to problems.
* Always consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations.
I recommend consulting your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic for specific guidance. They can help you identify the correct fluid for your 1991 Chevy Caprice Classic.
