Is automatic transmission fluid used in power steering a 1995 Toyota Camry?

No, automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is not used in the power steering of a 1995 Toyota Camry.

1995 Camrys use power steering fluid, a specific type of hydraulic fluid designed for power steering systems. ATF is incompatible and can damage the power steering system.

Here's why:

* Different Properties: Power steering fluid has a different viscosity and chemical composition than ATF. It's designed to withstand the high pressures and temperatures involved in power steering operation.

* Compatibility: ATF is not compatible with the seals and components in a power steering system. It can cause swelling, leaking, and damage.

* Performance: ATF won't provide the correct lubrication and performance for the power steering pump and other components.

To ensure proper operation and longevity of your power steering system, always use the correct power steering fluid as specified in your owner's manual or by your Toyota dealer.
