* Year and Model Variations: Ford produced various E-150 models in 1998, and each could have different power steering systems.
* Fluid Types: Power steering fluid can vary significantly, and using the wrong type can damage your system.
Here's what I recommend:
1. Check Your Owner's Manual: This is the most accurate source of information. Look for a section on power steering fluid.
2. Consult a Mechanic: Take your van to a reputable mechanic or a Ford dealership. They can identify the correct fluid type for your specific vehicle.
3. Check the Fluid Reservoir: Look for a label on the power steering fluid reservoir that may specify the type of fluid required.
Important Note: Never mix different types of power steering fluid. If you're unsure, err on the side of caution and consult a professional.
